Default IH #2 value

Hello. I’m a newbie with a question. I have an older IH #2 tiller in excellent working condition that I’m trying to find a value for. I’ve seen gear boxes going from anywhere from $250-400 alone. It currently has a custom adapter plate to make it fit and function on a JD X300. https://youtu.be/pvB7--yNHVo Here’s a short video of it in action. Can anyone tell me what it might be worth?

Thanks

Gearboxes are worth about $125 and that's it. I don't know where you are seeing them so high, but I highly doubt many are sold anywhere near that price.
A #2 tiller is worth about $300-$400 gear box included. I've seen many sold for $300 or less.

Sounds like yours has a bad bearing somewhere. It should be quiet when it's running.

eBay is where I found them https://m.ebay.com/itm/IH-Cub-Cadet-...from=R40&rt=nc

That video was with a different gearbox that died. It has since been replaced. Thanks for the info.

Just because it's listed on ebay for a ridiculous price, does not mean it sells for that price. I've seen used items priced doube the cost of new. There's always a sucker out there ready to be taken advantage of.

Jon is spot on as usual, A fellow had a gear box for sale here seems like within a year and he had to beg someone to buy it for less than $100.
Kinda like Barrett /Jackson or Me cum farm auctions.
Somebody sees something sell for a big price and they figger anything remotely
like it is worth big $$
I always say, things is worth is what a buyer and seller agree upon in normal times.

I’m not necessarily going to sell it. You see that is my brother in the video. He passed away 5 years ago. The tiller along with all his lawn equipment, I purchased from his wife. I may considering selling if the right person came along and would restore it. Basically it’s just been sitting in my JD lawn cart for the last 5 years taking up space, I don’t really have a need for it.

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.
