Default Cub Cadet Hydraulic Lift Unit

I just posted this to ebay.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Cub-Cadet-Hy...-/200685927601

Looking for information on what models it will fit and also wondering about the actual rarity and what they have sold for in the past.

Cheers, JR

Pros:

- Absolutely complete as far as I can tell by looking at CC parts schematics.
- All but one small bolt are original IH-stamped (all the important ones, ie. carriage bolts, are indeed stamped).
- Everything spins freely, control arm works smoothly, cylinder is free and actuates smoothly.
- No modifications or hack jobs - ideal candidate for a full restoration.
- I would rate this assembly an easy 8-9 out of 10 for overall appearance.

Cons:

- Cylinder rod has some corrosion, but this can be easily and inexpensively replaced by a reputable hydraulic cylinder repair shop or machine shop as it is a very simple rod. You could also just polish it out and try it as is but I would advise replacing it if you are going to do a seal job on the cylinder.
- I do not have the lift arm assembly that attaches the rod end of the cylinder to the rock shaft / lower lift arm pivot. You will have to fabricate (not rocket science) or find one.
- Hoses were shot, however one was still original, so that says something...
- Drive pulley has a ding that needs to be worked out and a slight wobble that needs correcting, just some simple metal persuasion.
