Wink A Fetish with 104s?
Okay, I have been looking for a wide frame, or a QL or a 82 series. I already have two 104s, both run good. So why do I need another 104 or two? First my brother-in-law tells me about a good running Cub Cadet with hydraulic lift that has busted steering. So I'm thinking, maybe this one is the wide frame I'm looking for. So I hear he only wants $150 for it. So I told my brother-in-law I want to go look at it.

In the meantime my friend Buzz tells me about another 104 that looks pretty good. Might be able to get it for $100. I'm thinking if I can get it for that price I'll bite.

Now I convince my brother-in-law today to take me down to see the busted steering, good running, hydraulic lift Cub Cadet for $150. It turns out to be another 104. Looks rough, but it's supposed to run real good. Has the narrow frame hydraulic lift on it and a 3 point lift. Turns out this guy's a trader so I tell him I'll trade him my JD RX75 rear engine rider for it. And I think he's going to do it. I have an extra steering column and box from a 107. But why do I need another 104? Is it a fever, or a fetish with 104s? Help!:Cub4:

$150 for a 104 with hydraulic lift! You better get it! But make sure to post some pictures if you do.

T-Mo I know the feeling...A year ago when we were looking for 6 months for our first cub did not think we would ever find one and then here I am a year later with 4...lol....and they do come in twos.....a couple of weeks ago I found a 102 this weekend I looked at a 123 with a hydro lift and a 3 point and a 122 with a 3 point....So I am pretty close to having all of that series of tractors in a couple of weeks...lol....that is if my wife does not hang me....lol......I surely have yellow fever.....

The thing is, I really want a wide frame type Cub. It seems like all I find here is narrow frames. The 104 for $150 is very rough looking and I will have to replace the steering in it, and possibly the front spindles. It's supposed to run good, but will at least need a carb cleaning. I can get that one pretty easy just by trading my JD rear engine rider. The other 104 may be harder to get - I'm getting this info third hand.

If I get this one 104, I might sell the hydraulic lift off of it - after I be sure it works. Or I might keep it. I might even pull the engine off and put it on my 123 roller that's in a lot better shape. Who knows.

I'm still in search of a decent wide frame, quiet line or 82 series that won't break the bank.

You could get the tractor for $150, sell the pump for twice that, and sell the tractor for $150...you'd have $300 to go toward a WF. :biggrin2.gif:

Conner,
My problem is, I sort of get attached to each one. If I buy the 104, I might just want to hang onto it. They're hard to part with.

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.
