Only Cub Cadets - Newbie from Mpls MN

Hi I just joined the Only Cub cadets forum today!! I have been involved with cubcadets since 1966-67. I worked at an IH dealership and when the first one came in i did the setup and demo it to many customers.. I have owned many models since then. I currently own 4 1/2 units. The i/2 is a 1450 with missing parts but plan to either sell it for parts or try to find the parts needed to complete it. I have a few of the newer models 1811 with attachments, 1430 with mower bagger. On a side note I see a great deal on a 1730 cub cadet with blower, mower and a soft cab (Bolens) on a K-Bid auction in Mn. This am it was under 500. Thanks for having me.
