Default Too many hours on 3165?
I am looking at getting 3165 54" deck and blower. It has 850 hrs. on it.
My question is how many hours is too many before it starts needing major repairs. Like the hydraulics.

I have a 2155(42" deck) for mowing and 2165 for blowing snow. Was looking to get it all on one tractor.

Am grateful for any help.

Motors have no exact life expectancy. It has a lot to do with the owners maintenance and care. One of mine has nearly 900 hours on it and it runs strong, starts easily and uses no oil. If the price is right, and it is in good condition, I wouldn't worry too much about 850 hours.

Thanks for your replies. They're asking $2100.00. Seems like a fair price to me.

I'll disagree, they do. I have looked at countless Cubs in the last year and a half or more, hundreds for sale, I have found only ONE that claimed to have 3000 hours and it was a commercially used 1872. Please point me to one or two with more than 1800 original hours? I'd love to have someone prove me wrong. On that note my 1811 went at 1856 hours, gov and valve, of which I purchased from the original owner who had it serviced regularly. They have a life expectancy.

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.
