Hello from Alabama
 

I am new to Cub Cadet's and this Forum. I have the opportunity to buy a model 86 Cub Cadet and I hope to get the answers I need to make an informed decision/purchase after looking through some of the past threads. I have attached a picture of the tractor that I am considering.

Welcome to OCC. Glad to have you.

Glad to have another member from Alabama!Nice tractor to renovate.What part of the state are you at?

I am from South Alabama, Robertsdale. This tractor has been in a barn for almost 30 years the owner said. I wish it had a mower deck.

Welcome to OCC.

Welcome to the OCC. I am also from Bama and have a 86. Solid little tractors. Looks like you have the mule drive on tractor. Should be able to pick up a deck for it.

Hello, I am in north Alabama. Nice looking 86.

Pretty good garden tractor! Weird, but The 86 I'm getting this Saturday { first time 86 owner } is sitting on a trailer just like this one,....!! There was only about 8,849 of these models ever made, and is number 5 on the rare tractor chart.

The IH Cub Cadets are a great garden tractor, and fun to have and even work on and paint! I would go get this 86 if the price was right!

Good luck!

Welcome to the forum!

I am 27 miles due east of you as I type.

I have some narrow frame stuff including a 42" deck.

I am not sure it is a bolt on fit for your 86 or not.

Nice 86.:beerchug:
