800 Pics Needed

[Darrell]

The side panels are MIA , but i do have extra's.

The person is wanting $400 for it , just can't see giving that for it. I am probably spoiled when it comes to buying Cubs , because i have bought some nice tractors for that price. Here in the area of MO. where i live , they seem to be plentiful. May have to drive a distance to get them , but i do limit myself on that.

I know an 800 is extremely HTF , but i personally am not much into the "rare" factor. Call me wierd , but even when i fix one up i still have to use it. Can't stand looking at a tractor just sitting and not working.

If the muffler and heat shield were there , i would maybe think about it.

Thanks for the info and pics !!!!

Peace Out ,

Darrell

Depends on how bad they want to have the pic:

Thanks for the advice. It's a work in process.

Odds are if a scammer/theif sees it he will pass on using it. I need to work on it some more.

Boy Darrell,
That's a tough price. If it ran good and was just missing what you mentioned and you have an extra set of panels, $400 would be top dollar. Non-running, blown engine, etc., definitely high on the price. I agree with you on the trailer queens. My 800 was used this winter for snow moving duty along with my 169. These guys earn their keep: Both are original paint and in decent shape. Here's a pic of my 800.
Merk,
Nice 800. I've always liked the look of narrow front and rear tires on the 800. Kinda wish mine had em.

Wow! Sweet original condition 800 and still earning it's keep!!! The only 800 I owned for a short time(I found it for a collector) was not a turn key and parts missing. He gave me $350 for it. Missing parts: starter,breather,heat shield but casting remained and engine side covers. www.ihccw.com had the starter and breather assembly and it cost him mega $$ for those two items. He got it running,major smoker but no knocker,engine is tore down now and waiting on a NOS Kohler piston and rings(again mega $$),he said the rest of the internals mic'd out good to go...Will the heat shield or muffler box tin from other QL's fit a 800 casting?

The aluminum cast piece is the 800 only part. The muffler box tin from the other quietlines will work.

Josh-

Another interesting thing about that 800 I can't remember if I mentioned to you...when I was changing the frame on it I noticed that there were several extra tapped holes in the trans case with pipe plugs in them, including one in the shifter, all factory. I wonder if part of that rear was destined for a Lo-Boy but wound up in the CC assembly line somehow.

I'm really glad to see you're getting some use out of that. I bought it not wanting to see it get turned into a puller. It definitely went to the right home

Hey Matt,
No, I don't think you mentioned that to me. I remember you talking about it on one of the forums, though. I will have to check that out when I pull the fender pan. Have a creeper and rear lift to get on it one of these days. Actually fired it up today and getting ready to pull off the blade..............finally......................lo ng winter.
