Just for comparison, I paid $500 in Virginia for a 682 with a 44C deck, both in good condition, just needed a good carb cleaning. No hydraulics, no hitch, no accessories, just the mowing deck and a set of Carlysle Super Lugs on the rear. It was worth it for me. I think I did well, but not what I would call a smoking deal.

From what I have seen on this board over the past year or so, I would be thinking about $250 for the mower, blown engine, hitch and all, and (assuming good, serviceable condition) the following:

$350 for the rotto-tiller
$ 50 ea for the cultivators (then again, why do you need two? Offer $50 for both together)
$ 50 for the box blade (if it's one of the little 4' Brinly ones. I have one I picked up for $40)
$150 for the disc and bottom plow together.

So, I would be considering offering about $850, with the understanding that I would be putting another $800-1200 into it for a replacement motor. Then again, in Virginia Cubs aren't as prevalent as they are in the midwest, so they seem to command higher prices. Since your buddy won't have any need for the accessories once he's sold the 782, you might even get him down to $750, and that's where I'd start.

Am I far off, guys?

One last thing. Don't pay or offer anything for things you don't need or want! If you don't need a plow, tell him you don't want it and drop your price accordingly. He will either throw it in, or sell it separately himself. Don't pay for things you don't need. If you'll never use the implements, just bargain for the tractor! He's trying to get rid of things. Make him buy your money!
