I'd never recommend an older cub to someone who can't wrench. They're wonderful machines, but they're all beat to death by now and are more of a "passion" for us than a reasonable investment.
I just priced out the cheapest new Craftsmans hydro I could find my my elderly neighbor. It was $112/mo for 12 months on their financing, interest free. with IN sales tax added.
That said... I'd pay $300-$450 for a 129 Cub, with a solid 44A, if it was a good tractor. The 1x9s are my favorite so far, so I'm biased.
At $200 I'd bring it home as a "can't lose" so start there if you want.
