Need opinions ASAP on a Model 70
I found a nice partially restored model 70 that an acquaintance has for sale. It has been painted a few years back and still looks good. Options are: round fenders w/no reflectors, creeper gear, spring assist, nice mower deck, plow. It has the incorrect seat and grille but I can replace those. The tractor also has brand new Carlisles and tri-ribs. He's asking $850 firm. The 7 hp motor is fine and doesn't smoke at all either. I just want to know what you guys think, is he asking too much and I should keep looking?
 CaptMax Ps. I have a model 70 parts tractor so I would have donor parts if I needed anything. I just don't know what I should do, buy it or keep looking. I have a blade already but I am only looking for a Cub to use for mowing, my 102 will be used for everything else.

Well, I have more than that in my 70 with the same options but I also have headlights. If you want a loaded 70 without doing a lot of work and adding the expensive parts, you would be money ahead to get it.
Gotta picture?

Thanks Kelpie, I will post pictures later today. I could sell the plow and recoup some of the money I'm sure. The stuff his tractor needs is mostly cosmetic, would be a fun project to work on over the winter. I figured he is in the ball park but I wasn't sure. Hopefully some others chime in on this thread and leave their opinions. "Thanks"

Doesn't sound like a bad deal to me, Max. Especially with the attachments. Great to see you posting again!

Thanks ACecil, I have been busy this spring and summer with the warm weather as I am in the HVAC business. Never get any free time when the temperature is over 80 here in Michigan. After I buy this 70 I am sure you will see more of me again and I will be posting pictures. This one won't be half as much work as my 102 was. This is the closest I could come to finding a nice Original for mowing, at least it has everything I'm looking for except for a few more options that I will add later. Feels good to be back here amongst friends.

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.
