"it depends...." (seems to be the universal answer to most things)

It depends on what you want to spend your time doing. Parts tractors arent that useful unless you expect to someday need parts. Which implies future projects, which you might not know what are right at this point in time.

Then if you do buy them, you have to be comfortable and have space for them to be sitting around. For me, this is a bit of a problem since my neighborhood doesnt particularly like the look of old farm equipment (but they are ok, and curious even, with me doing whatever my next project is). So as long as I keep them moving in terms of progress its good.

Some people want a select few and focus on that. For that approach parts tractors arent that useful unless they are the right ones.

And parting them out takes time. I had a 782 I picked up for almost nothing, and thought I really should try to save it but there was not much useful on it. Ended up sending the engine to a member here that got his back in working condition and I felt a win all the way around. But it wasnt a big money maker, and took more time that could have been spent on the ones I was interested in. If I had had more time, I would have rebuilt it but would have had much more into it than I could have then sold it for. Its a hobby, so I accept some cost to it.

Pics, yes!

I don't have any pics and I haven't shot the guy an offer. To me all I think I could really use is the mule for the deck. The more I thought about it even if I could get the 1864 for $25 I'd still need to run my 782 over just to pull it out of the back of his yard. It's so far gone I just don't think it's worth the effort unless it's a freebie. I just can't see anyone paying anything other than scrap value for them.

The ad has been done but I can check my browser history later to see if I can find pics.

His posting has expired & I didn't save the pics. The 1250 looked OK but the 63 & 64 are near junk. Just picture a Cyclops run hard, busted up, minimally serviced, and run to failure, and then left outside for a few years or more. Extremely rough shape.

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.
