What should I do?
 

i bought a 3184 with 300 hrs for $400 a few weeks ago. the guy said the hydro pump had went out, turns out it was a stripped hub. its an 18hp kohler with no other options than hyd deck lift and had the aluminum rear axle. i actually bought it to repower a walker zero turn that i have, but after i found the cheap fix i decided to keep it all together and use it. so at this point im still needing a horizontal kohler for the walker.

so yesterday i found a 3235 with 800 hrs and ended up giving $200 for it. guy said it just needed a fuel pump, but i havnt had a chance to mess w it to see. its the 25hp with cast iron axle, diff lock, 54" deck, etc. the tractor is faded badly looks like it has sat in the sun its whole life. but it has all of the goodies.

thinkn maybe if the 3235 cranks up and runs and nothing else is wrong w it mechanically, maybe take the nicer parts off of it and swap them to the nicer lookin 3184 that the frames paint still looks good n shiny?

then use the 18hp to repower the walker and part out the rest of the cubs parts and peices that arent used?

or rebuild both cubs and find another engine to repower my walker? i originally bought the first cub just for the engine but ive started taking a liking to these things haha

And it begins, 1 turns into 2 and 2 turns into 4 and 4 turns into 8, do you see where this is going? :biggrin2:

You should invest in a big pole barn to keep them in before it gets out of hand and they have to set outside.

I think there is a serious problem and I need to assist you by having an intervention. I will gladly come from Illinois, bringing our single digit cold with me, drop it off, and bring the 3235 back home with me. I think that is the best treatment I can give you; help you cool down all the while alleviating the "pressure" of having too many 3000 series Cubs. :biggrin2:

I appreciate your string of recent purchases. Good luck and keep up informed.
