After talking to you guys I am pretty excited.
I just found this and plan on picking it up tonight. All the guy knows is its a 1987 cub cadet with a 18HP magnum. Looks to me from the gear shifter under the seat to be an 1806. Its missing the manual lifter and all but I would think it would have everything I need to repower my 782. Also has a 50" deck that looks to be in pretty good shape and he says tire are in good shape no dry rot. So there is my tires and engine. Will make a fine parts tractor I think.
The guy wants 300.00 for it. Does that sound reasonable. He says the engine turns over and runs for a minute but then dies. Says it has not been run in a while an probably needs a carb cleaning.
