Default Would a decent, running Cub 73 be a good addition?

With having 17 tractors I am hard pressed to pull the trigger on a running 73 with a mower deck that is rough, but working. It is not a tractor that I see very often so I was just curious. Was told to me he would take a $100. Price makes it very tempting!! Question is, is it a good addition to a collection?

If I were you, 17 tractors or not, I'd go for it!! $100 for a running 73 with a deck, even if it is rough, is a great price, I know I wouldn't be able to turn it down. If NOTHING else, it could be a parts tractor for you or you could turn around and sell it for parts to members here. Hope you get it, and don't forget pics if you do!

I would also jump on that deal, but I need a 73 to go with my 71 and 72.

It's worth it! The 73 is one of the rarer cubs also.

$100 is a deal on a 73.
Most would be all over that in a heart beat, without even having to think about it.

I like 73s, and for that price it'd be somewhat stupid to not jump on it.

That's kind of like asking the bartender if it's a good idea to buy another drink.

Of COURSE yes! :-)

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.
