Default Cub Cadet 149
I looking at buying a 149 hydro on craigslist. It is mostly complete except for the engine and deck. Seller wants $150 for it. I have a perfect running Kohler Magnum 12hp off of a cub cadet 1204 that I could put in it. I mostly want the tractor because it has the hydrostatic transmission and I have a homebuilt front end loader from my 1204 that I could put on it.

I don't know how many hours are on it. The seller said the hydro worked fine. Also it has hydraulic lift.

Do you think the $150 is a fair price?
Im worried about the hydo since I can't test it before I buy it, what can I look for?

Any other advice you can offer?

Attached is the only picture I have of it. The picture shows the engine but that is not included.

definitely worth it if it comes with that plow.

Since you already have a motor, and the 149 comes with the front blade, the chains and the headlights, I'd say buy it. It may turn in to a project tractor, but $150 isn't going to make or break you. :biggrin2.gif:

Question
Isn't the blade alone worth $150.00???

It sounds like a good deal man. Like Mountain said the blade alone is worth a buck fifty. If you can afford it go for it.

X2, you'd have well over 150 in sellable parts if you were to decide you did not want it later on... (this is also known as phase 2 of the addiction:biggrin2.gif

It looks like it's worth the money especially of it comes the attached goodies. Keep in mind though that the hydro in the tractor will not run a FEL, it needs a seperate hydraulic pump and reservoir.

I wouldn't worry too much about the condition of the hydro/transaxle it's almost impossible to tear one up.

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.
