I am looking for a bit of advice here since I'm fairly new to buying older Cadets. I recently stumbled across what appears to be a cub cadet original. I say appears because it is in the background of 2 other mowers for sale.
Long story short they said to make an offer, and I have no clue as to what a fair price would be since the ones I've seen online are all over the board. The little bit of information I have from them is that it has no deck or gas tank. They say it ran good when parked, but wouldn't be the first time I've heard that line.
Any help would be appreciated.
Value of cub cadet original
Re: Value of cub cadet original
Best guess...$75.00
You could spend all winter restoring and spend hundreds of dollars. Be lucky to find a buyer for $500.00

Re: Value of cub cadet original
Welcome Ethan. The value on any of these tractors is what someone will pay. I would say things have slowed in the last few years on all cub cadets. Years ago I think a non running but mostly complete was $150-200. The next thing guys look at is what options r bolted on the non runner, is there wheel weights, creeper, rear lift, mower deck, fenders, lights, things like that could raise the price a little. If the paint is pretty nice.. little more, if it's Rusty and crusty...a lot less. I don't think the original makes it too special so i would say a plain non running tractor today is $100-$150. Let us know how you make out.
127, 1650, 1572, 1872, 2072 . A mower, blower and blade for each.

Probably 10+ years ago I paid 100 bucks for basically an original frame and a few parts, but it had factory dual rear wheel lugs. I've been out of the game so long I'd have no idea of fair market value these days, but low serial numbers and condition used to be a pricing factor.

Re: Value of cub cadet original
Thanks all for the replies. I'm glad I asked so I didn't over spend on this. I will let you all know if I get it, but I have a feeling they think they are sitting on a gold mine. Good news is there's also a 125 not far from me in good shape besides the engine, so that's a potential back up project there.
