Depends on the serial numbers.... Earlier 4 digits and even 3 digits will hold a higher value to a collector. Earlier the better. The values of the fully restored Original is out of my ball park because I fancy myself as a user rather than a collector unless maybe its a very early serial number thats properly restored.

If it really is fully restored, I’d say that’s a fair price. You’re not going to buy one and give it a proper restoration for less than that. Keep in mind, everyone’s definition of restored is different. Some people will slap a rattle can paint job on over rust, scratches, and dents and call it a restoration. If that’s the case, I wouldn’t pay that much. IMO, a proper restoration means taken completely apart, check everything out, rebuild/replace any damaged/worn out parts, and a good paint job, so you end up with a basically new tractor.

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.
