I respect your opinion, but the way I see it, a guys gotta learn somehow and I'm the kinda guy that can read a manual all day but until I get my hands on it, it's all just words.

If that is what you are going to offer as trade, then I'd still expect to shell out some cash. If the guy is versed in cubs, he know what the diesel will bring. Doesn't matter if I would pay that price or not, somebody will in 10 seconds flat. I'd say, if he takes the deal he will take your machine and attachments and still want at least a grand. Maybe more. Let's be realistic.... your 1864 is maybe worth $750, blade $150 and blower $150, $200 on the high end. I think those are generous numbers.
As far as your pricing, that's kinda where I am. I think his diesel is priced a bit too high, but your prices for my equipment isn't too far off what I thought it to be worth (although everyone likes to think there stuff is worth more than it is, and I'll be the first to admit that ). I figured about $100 more on the tractor, and maybe $200 for the blade and blower each, respectively. I doubt it'll happen, but I'd regret if I didn't try
