Default 1872 cub cadet

I am going to look at a 1872 tonight. The guy wants 500. b/o. It has a 50" deck and the only issue is the pto won't engage. He said there is a new carb on it, also. The newest cub I have is the 782D and am not very familiar with these. Can someone tell me what these go for? Is there any issues with these tractors? I see it has indendent brakes

Thanks,
Earl

The 1872 is a Super Garden Tractor. If the person wants $500.00 for a SGT, I am thinking it's a steal.

I just picked it up for 450. Has a real nice 50" deck. This thing is huge. It runs good, no smoke or knocks, seals are not leaking, but it surges and almost idles out of control. He said he rebuilt the carb. It sounds like a governor issue to me. I'll have to read up on it because this tractor is new to me. Thanks for your advice. Any suggestions on the surging I would appreciate it.

Earl

You got a great deal! Congrats

How do you like the power steering? I love it! I had a bad front tire on mine and it kept going flat. I would drive it over to the compressor and I couldn't even tell it was flat in the steering. Im also looking forward to using my front hydro ports. I found a johnny bucket Jr with a rope trip for $100. I think it might be the first thing I play with the ports on. Thinking of having the rope trip removed and making it dump by a small hydraulic cylinder. Something like the steering cylinder size wise or maybe smaller? Depending on what eBay brings me, lol. They're awesome tractors. Your going to love it!


For your surge, normally when ever I have something that surges I just play with the high speed carb adjustment. Could be debris in there and when I play with it, it loosens or its just out of adjustment to begin with.

MAN WHAT A GREAT BUY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The power steering is worth 300 easy. May be a gov problem also if the carb has been reworked, look at the linkage, it can be a bit tricky. My mag 18 in the 582 was like that till I adjusted everything.

NOW WE WANT PIC'S !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
