I had everything in the back of my 3/4 ton truck. Went to a local cub dealer by me. Asked if it was worth the $ to put into it. Back then I was told with everything it was worth around $1,800 with all the attachments. What mines worth today? Who knows.
This thing is a beast! Everything works. I have to change out the hi-trans oil and filter some day. Gets cold out, it's slow to move till it gets warmed up a bit.
I have a newer cub garden tractor. No comparison to it.
I can tell you the deck on the 1650 cuts better than the new one.
Rototiller. I've used it quite a bit thru the years. It dosen't mess a round. Sometimes I think I should put an add in the paper to do tilling.
Snow blower is a single stage and it dosen't like wet snow.
Perhaps wrong on my thinking. What's the cost on a newer cub unit without any attachments. Add in attachment costs for a new one. Total.
Try for 1/3 to 1/2? Only prob is the no forward on yours. Call a cub dealer to find out the cost to repair and take that cost away from the price.

I’d love to know why it’s not shifting, but timing is not good for finding out. I’ve moved to Atlanta to a house with a tiny yard. It’s not coming with me and I’m not around to investigate the cause. You’re right it’s a beast and fun to use. I will miss it. I will say I am surprised I am getting almost no interest in it. I had to put a price on it and probably priced it high with the idea the I would get offers even if they were low. That hasn’t happened yet. I’d love for this to go to a Cub Cadet enthusiast. Even someone who would want the attachments would make it a good deal. Like I said, my goal is not to make a lot of money off of it.
