I will have to agree, this mower is to nice to be used on a regular basis. I will go through the engine and bring it out every once in a while to keep it moving, maybe mow the yard. Only have about a acre to mow and it is all level with only a couple tress that I keep trimmed up pretty high.

Roanoker, don't let it bother you. To some people, Cubs are just worn-out old lawn mowers and they have no interest in them. They were used as a tool to mow grass. You gave him his full asking price and he is happy and you got an excellent deal. Great find, keep us posted.

Default $200...
If I were you and had the $200 to spare I would take it home before someone changed their mind.

The engine low compression could be something as simple as some crud under a valve and it isn't completely closing.

Grab it and run with it.

Default How about this
Since it's missing the side panels you might as well double your money on it by selling it to me. I promise to love it and take care of it as long as I live
Okay, so your gonna keep it. What a great way to start the new year. I know guys that would give up two or three Cubs for that 800 if it's got the original starter, muffler and muffler box. One of the nicest I've seen and I have 3 myself.

That is the impression I got from the man. The tractor was his lawn mower that has now served it`s purpose. His son takes care of the property now and he seems to be spoiled by that big hydrostatic Husky, told me the clutch was to much hassle.

I was laying in bed last night thinking the same thing, could just be carbon not allowing the valve to seat. I can`t wait to get the head off and see what is going on.

Not only is it a heck of a way to start the new year but a heck of a way to start a collection, this will be my first Cub Cadet.

That is what I am afarid of, that is how my current chainsaw problem started. I bought a Husky 51 that soon turned into three. Then a 272 found its way here, a 268 soon followed. Then I was on Ebay and found a sweet 2100 out of Canada. Now I have so many I don`t even know how many I have
...... I have Husky, Stihl, homelite, poulan, McCulloch, Lancaster, David Bradley and about anything else you can come up with.

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.
