Thoughts on Original Value?
 

May swing up and look at an original. Owner says it ran when parked, but it's been sitting for a few years. It looks pretty nice paintwise and I'll assume nothing is majorly wrong with it, like the engine turns over just fine and such, but we'll see when if I go take a look.

Doesn't look like it has rear lift. Also comes with 3 mower decks (he says out of the 3 decks, 2 complete ones can be made).

A cub cadet original running with deck sold nearby a few weeks ago for $450 obo in similar shape, but did not have fenders. I'm kinda gauging it's worth around that price. The owner is asking a bit more than that right now, I just would like some input on a good offer.

Any input on a good offer? Thanks!

The price goes as high as the amount CAS syndrome it relieves!!

$450 + $150 for the fenders, BUT, I would want to at least crank it with jumper cables and hopefully hear it try to start with some gas thrown in the carb!! :bigthink:

I like to have at least one just to enjoy lookin' at!!

They ain't all got to earn their keep!! :biggrin2:

To me 450 is a good offer. I"ll buy them all day at that price with the fenders. Looks clean. Shouldn't take much to get it running.

You can easily have $100+ each in a mower deck easily. That coupled with the fenders, I think it's a decent deal. If you can get it to jump at the site then jump all over that price.

nice original, looks like he has another one and a #2 trailer

If you want one,i'd deff. make an offer an it.Looks nice for sure.

To be honest in my perwonal opinion I'd go for it. The original iis by far my favorite. I ended up with one soley to restore now I have two and see many more I. My future. I simply love them they were ment to do the job and not ask questions.
