Ok, so there's a 149 near me that I am probably going to go and look at. It's supposed to be in good running order, paints a little faded. it has a replacement 14hp kohler engine and new battery, but no mower or mule drive. Owner is entertaining best offers for the tractor. I'm in NE PA...so what do you think would be a fair offer. I know it's whatever I'd be willing to pay, but I don't want to get ripped off, and I don't want to insult the owner. What do you guys think? thanks in advance,
Jason P.S. I'd really like something with hydraulic lift and that's why I was interested in the 149. |

In my part of the country, that's probably a $250 tractor. You didn't say how new the 'new' motor is...that's kinda meaningless if it's got 1000 hours on it. Also depends on the condition of the tires, steering, sheetmetal, etc...

For $250?
I would just work that thing in to the herd and let her notice it. Don't think if it were the other way around you wouldn't see " Oh this dress I've had it for months" and I'll be doing that with the 1650 next week when I bring it home, I have already been moving all of my cubs around in the yard to try and run interference.

Jcrews,
That's pretty funny...I don't have enough tractors to run interference though...she'd notice right away. I think that I'll be selling my 1250 if I picked up the 149 though. Jason |

I just saw your profile... Take your work home with you and work her back or any sore spot she may have into agreement if that fails I'm sure you could bring home a large Tens Unit and shock her into your way of thinking. Just keep saying to yourself " I don't have enough Cub Cadets" and I need this thing for (fill in the blank) in the future it always works for me.

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.
