Going to look at a 102
What should I look for?
It has a mowing deck, fenders, and the engine has been pulled because it needed a ring job. Engine included. thoughts?

Its always tough to look at a tractor when its not running, there's just no way to tell if you he clutch is good or if it pops out of gear. When they don't run its kind of a crap shoot what your buying until you get it running.

There really isn't a whole lot I can tell you about this 102.
You already know the engine is bad/needs to be rebuilt. It would appear the rear fenders are unbolted from the frame (not sure why anyone would take the rear fenders off just to get the engine out). About all there is would be to see if the gear shift moves into all 4 positions, you may have to "rock" it back and forth a little to get it to go in each gear. You can check the steering to find out how much play it has. You can also see if the clutch is still bolted up and see if it releases and look at the edges of the of the disk to see if it is separating or not. Since you are considering buying a pile of parts, I would take a jumper wire and a battery pack or some other way to check the starter/generator to see if it starts AND generates. Probably the most important thing would be, is to make sure you get ALL the parts for it. That may not sound like a big deal, but sometimes, depending on the part, good used parts can get pretty expensive. If you are looking for a project that could ultimately become a very useful addition to your lawn and garden equipment, this is probably as good of a project as any, but be prepared to dump a LOT of money into it if you want a "nice" old Cub Cadet. I hope you are getting a REALLY good deal on this tractor.

you probably made a smart move, it would have to have some nice options on it to be worth 200 needing an engine rebuilt.

I thought I saw a creeper lever but it was just the key hanging. Any chance it has that OP?

I'm not sure what an OP is. Option?
It didn't have any options that I saw other than fenders and deck. No lights, creeper, rear pto, etc. He had even sold the PTO clutch on ebay already and wasn't very friendly, I'm not sure how he became a Cub Cadet owner.  I'm happy with my decision to pass on it. When I told him that I bought my Cub Cadet 100 for $30 I don't think he believed me.

Smart move on passing since he already started parting it out.

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.
