The way I look at it is I put something up for sale and you don't think it's a fair price then don't make an offer. But if another person walks up and likes it then they will pay whatever it is worth to them. I think the idiot would be the stubborn person who would sell something because it used to be that price. Every JD I re-furbish and sell is a beauty and it has been gone over carefully by me personally. I ask a very high price for them and have sold everyone to a happy customer. My caveat is if it don't run I do. I've never bought a "Project" tractor because I do not want the uncertainty of having to tear into the guts to make it sellable. I drive them and operate them and satisfy myself as to whether or not they are decent tractors. Then I bring them back to as good a level as I can without going the muscle car restoration route. I too do not believe that for just small lawns that a diesel is worth the extra cost but for economy a gas engine cannot touch a little diesel. With my 1811 I can mow my 1.4 acres with little over a half tank of gas. With my JD 332 diesel I can do it for less than a fourth of a tank. The other thing is I have a lot of steep hills and the diesel goes up them without a whimper. Not so with the K18.

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.
