This Cub has come up and I am tempted...
 
I keep telling myself that I need to stop buying more strays but this just came up..

A 149. Owner claims it has power lift for front attachments. By the photo it does look like a hydro lift stick.

How much is a Cozy Cab worth?

I know if I go and check it out I would probably bring it home. Doesn't look like it would need much work.

Thanks for looking.

:beerchug: I don't think I could walk away from that one either.

Didn't sam or somebody else build one from scratch?:bigthink:

OldAndInTheWay 10-02-2013 06:56 AM

I checked and all 149 had power lifts... Be nice if it had a power angle option for the blade. I have a dual stick 1450 with a power angle blade. I guess I could switch it over but will probably not.

Looks like a clean tractor!:beer2:

No mule drive or mower. Has chains though. Having not to have to tear it apart to fix things would be a bonus. I wonder if the hydro fan is busted? Everyone I have bought had the fan busted. If using it for snow, a fan would not be that important I guess.

what mike said, and i would buy it:beerchug:

Nice cub! Hope you get it.

Cub Cadet 123 10-02-2013 11:22 AM

I won't spend someone else's money, but it does look like a really nice cub. The blade is worth about $75-$125, the cab is probably somewhere around $350-$500, and the chains are another $30 or so......A good working 149 without deck or anything like that would probably sell for about $300-$450 in my area. Hope that helps you make a more informed decision. Let us know if you score it. Certainly looks to be well taken care of by the PO.

No matter what you are using it for, a fan is a MUST. Would you drive a car with no fan?

It is a really sharp tractor. I keep watching for a cab. But none keep coming up that are within driving distance of me. I dunno.... Is it really so bad to buy another cub?......

It has gotten that I have to spend a couple of hours with friends explaining about what great things they are and all the different features of each just to convince them I haven't gone crazy. Some understand, other just shake their heads.

To reword a quote from the Jeep community, tell those that shake their heads, "It's a Cub thing, you wouldn't understand!"

OldAndInTheWay 10-02-2013 01:02 PM

I know all about the Jeep thing...

This is mine:

You wouldn't understand.

Very cool TJ Rubicon mr in the way. Im a fellow jeeper too, spring over yj on 35s. I think the jeep and cub addictions are similar. That 149 with cab looks great. Heys its another week now and you need to maintain your average of 3 a week, ok maybe 2. Sweet find though, hope the price is right.

Rescue11 10-02-2013 10:27 PM

Ehh just buy it, what's the worst that could happen??!

hdsdcouple 10-02-2013 11:15 PM

that one I posted about with the cab and the broom a few weeks ago is still for sale also. he dropped the price down to $1200 now, I figure another 2 weeks maybe it will be $800 and I might be interested in it then. but the one here looks nicer

same boat here, some of my friends are enablers tho http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qjQTT7-wg2U

What I would like to know is, where did you get the seeds for that money tree:biggrin2: I'm very interested in the seed and how long it took to grow, and lastly. What is the life expectancy? Before the tree runs out and dies?:bigthink:
