Default Should I buy these tractors?
I don't need them, but I wouldn't mind saving them from the scrapper.
one needs rings and the other needs a carb.
count on batteries for both and plenty more.........

scrap isnt paying much for iron these days,$ 50 bucks each is double scrap price. i would buy them and save them from scrap,even as parts machines or fix one and part one.

I'd say the same thing. If you can score em cheap worst case you could part them out (still counts as saving them from the scrap yard).

Good luck!

I'm gonna look at them tomorrow and will report back.
I have a feeling I'll be making some room in the yard.

Save them for sure. I'm sure if they could, they would have checked the organ donor box on their licenses!

Well said, never heard it put quite that way, but excellent way of looking at it
I agree with the others, spare parts is better than being scraped.

Coming here with that question is like asking a barber if you need a haircut.

Of course we would say buy them! Just don't pay too much.

I wish I could find a QL parts tractor near me.

For the right price, Every Cub is worth SAVING!!! No I know you do not pay $1000 for those two, but $100-150 for the pair would not be "bad". Still very high for me. I usually pay that much for runners but they are usually pretty beat though. But I like the beat ones. Means they have a History. A personality. A long lived past. No 2 alike. I also do not "restore" mine either. Other than mechanical repairs, they look the same as the day I brought them to their new home. I would actually like to find a "beyond" repair, complete QL for a special project.

For the right price, BUY THEM.

Take care and Enjoy!!
John

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.
