Default Cub Cadet 104: Questions from a New Member -Pics posted
First, as a new member, let me say I've enjoyed browsing the site and learning from other members. Second - if this message belongs somewhere else, please steer me in the proper direction.

I may have an option on a 104, located in rural NC, and described pretty much as "runs good". It is reported to have a mower deck, no other options, and no "hitch" on the back.

I'm trying to get down there and have a look at it. Anyone care to tell me what I should look for (and look out for); what questions to ask, etc? Is anyone willing to speculate on a range of possible fair prices - given that I have no really good information yet?

Thanks.
Conig

Conig,
Welcome
Good luck on the 104.
Does it run? Do all the features function as normal? What do you want to do with it? Hobby tractor? Restoration? Mow grass as is? do work now do work next year? All these can factor into the purchase.

Dont do as I do do as I say! I bought one where nothing worked and have been playing with it for about 4 months now. Thread about "added more IH Equip"

Regards,
Chris

Great to have another NC member!

Location and condition determin price. In Statesville things are higher then in Midland where theres more cubs (1.5 hr drive). I would say $250-$500 depending on condition.

Nice to have another NC member. Where are you located? I'm near the Fayetteville area.

Gentlemen,
Thanks for the replies so far. Chris - it's reported to be in good condition and running but I haven't looked at it yet. It's a 10hp as I understand and I'm concerned about adequacy of power. I want it for grass cutting; and if I can get accessories, a blade to push around a little gravel or snow and a tiller attachment for my "small" garden. I'm looking for a worker, not a show-piece. Duke and SC - thanks for info. Allen - Moore County.

When I had my 122 (which has a 10hp in it) I had enought to do anything I wanted to do. I was able to plow my garden with it. It had good power for running the tiller and the front end loader that was on it. It will do a great job mowing grass.

Never under estimate the power of a single cylinder Kohler. It should do all you could throw at it.

Welcome to the only place on the web for all of your cub cadet needs!! I have a 100 that I plow, drag, pull and push just about anything I want, and there is still plenty left, especially with the creeper.
Good luck with the 104.

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.
