We had a guy from overseas buy a restored Ford from us but he handled the shipping, he had a guy come pick it up and deliver it to NY where it was loaded on a ship. It was headed to Iran or Iraq or one of those countries with alot of sand.

You need to find a company who ship oversea in container or crate but you better double and triple check if it's well secure because it's a ruff ride sometime..I know a few in Canada but none in US, what is the nearest port from PA? NY? New Jersey? I bet they all have a office and warehouse there.

I have shipped household goods via container. They load up multiple shipments to fill them up. It was the heat that did the most damage (can get hot inside!). I remember something like $0.80 per pound

Have shipped stuff strapped to pallets and it was beat to heck by the time it got there. One box had a forklift arm driven through it.

Shipping vehicles is done all the time. Surprisingly cheap. Well, not cheap but not as bad as I feared (I shipped a pickup). No idea if they would take a small tractor. You might test the auto shipment carriers.

Well believe it or not I was figuring between 1500 and 1700 for this little venture, just for shipping. never know, I might end up making someone a happy camper. I'd imagine the potential buyer of my 1250 has a speculation of their own for shipping costs.

What Tim said,let the buyer take the responsibility to get the shipping taken care of,that way there will be no issues on your end,IE ship sank,or it fell off the deck....

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.
