Nice quicky paint job, has some extra holes in the hood, check the dash tower where it mounts the clutch arm, they do get cracks, walk away from that unless it is a 599.99 cents.

Ok, thanks! I will check that if I go look at it.

Check the steering for slop. I would not be surprised if it will probably turn 1/8 to 1/4 turn of the wheel before the wheels start to turn.
Check for fore and aft movement of the front axle when you test the steering. Check for looseness of the tie rod and the drag link ends (4 of them).
Check the tightness of the pitman arm alongside the steering box, all while moving the steering wheel some.
Check for loose or sloppy gear shift, make sure the lever does not spin around in the cup.
Check for front wheel bearing slop, (push on the tractor sideways at the front wheels)
For that kind of $$, there should be NOTHING wrong with any of these items, and I should come with a battery, "turn key deal"
Last 126 I bought was $300 and I drove it on the trailer.

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.
