Default Should I Buy A Cub Cadet 73?

I was thinking of buying this 73 to restore. Is it worth the $400 he is asking? What is a fully restored 73 with plow and deck worth?
Thanks

That looks like a decent deal, but i would try to negotiate if you can.

I've been looking at that one also, I don't think the price is that bad but I'd try to get it a little cheaper...

I'd see if you could get it for $350.

Just my 2 cents but having lived in CT and knowing how humid that area is I would bet it will be a major PITA to get the bolts out of it. $200 would be my top number.

Fourth rarest cub, its my favorite model that I have. You might have half that amount alone in those hub caps if they're decent, cool options with 3 point and spring assist, I'm a fan.

I'm with you. Unless a tractor is in really good shape, or has rare parts, I'm a $200 kinda guy. I gave less than $400 for a 71 with fenders and lights! (non-running)

Buy it. You'll get your money back if you change your mind later. It can't hurt to offer a little less but full price is still fair. Why wait for a bargain that may or may not ever come? You can be tinkering with this one tomorrow.

The hubcaps, blade, tri-ribs, spring assist, deck, rear hitch, and seat can be sold for more than asking price.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
