Can that cost be passed on if selling the entire tractor. I would guess it depends on what the buyer wants to do with the tractor. Only one of my tractors is a worker. My goal is have my tractors as close to showroom as possible without restoration. All original or nos parts and minor paint touch up. I don't think it would make sense to put these high money parts on a worker just to get messed up. I guess I broke my own rule because I replaced most of my hardware with stainless steel.

For me, the IH monogram bolts
ARE a/an important piece of value and uniqueness of the IH Cub Cadet, along with all the other specific identities of the garden tractor. There is nothing worse than replacing good carbon bolts
NEEDLESSLY with new, non-original cap screws and what have you.
I would personally pay more money for an untouched, all original condition IH Cub Cadet. That's your best, most experienced answer that has been given yet!
