A narrow frame has the same width the whole length of the frame where a wide frame is narrow in the rear and wider up front for the larger 14 and 16hp engines, ones not better than the other but the wide frames are easier to work on because of the extra width and removable tunnel cover.

[QUOTE=freedhardwoods;341895]Thanks to everyone for the input. I really had no intentions of buying another tractor, but if it's still there on Thursday, I'll probably go for it

I didn't have any intentions either

No attachments? About 150 too much for me IMO.

Really? I can see more than $400 worth of new parts and tires in the pics, if that were mine I wouldn't let it go for any less than $600 and I'd have no problem getting it.

I love it when a bunch of you guys pile on and tell someone to go and buy this or that. Then the poster buys it with the intention of selling and can't give it away. I have so BTDT. I'm now like Lew if it's not a steal I'll pass. I've saved enough old stuff from the scrap yard and I don't need the practice anymore. Rant over.

"bunch of you guys pile on and tell someone to go and buy this or that"

One thing that is common to all special interest forums is that people are great at spending others money!!!

Maybe I should go into a little more detail. I won't go after it for $400. I don't get "caught up" in other peoples enthusiasm, but I do appreciate the info. I just don't need another tractor that bad. Still thinking about what to offer. If I get it, I'll use it.

So, you drive 1-200 miles or whatever...
Looks to me like he is looking for offers OVER $400!!
Correct me if I'm wrong here, but I just reread the ad and was off base here w/my 1st comment!

Since this isnt posted in the 'is this a good deal section', and since its turning philosophical, I may as well throw my $.02 in:

Whether its a good deal depends on why you are doing this hobby.

If you like buying and selling then thats fine, and the question has to be how much more you can get for it than what you bought it for. And you have to cover time and costs. My experience has been mixed, but as others noted here its not always that easy to sell one.

Course if you just want bragging rights on how cheaply you bought something, then thats another threshold (but be prepared to learn that there is always someone else that got a better deal)

If you like collecting certain types, colors, models, rareity, then let that be your guide.

If you like saving them from the scrapyard, or just working on them, then decide if this one fits the purpose.

If your not sure what aspect you get enjoyment from, then try out a few things and you will find out. I know I am in a different mode than when I started.

Most of all, ENJOY the hobby!

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.
