Used GT2186
Looking to buy used GT2186-48 with approx 700 hours on it, he's asking $475 and just wondering what people think of the mower. It is being resold by a small local mechanic that took it in on trade. He reports it was 1 owner that had it in garage and took good care of it with oil/transmission changes, and owner even has the original manual which was impressive.
Starts up and runs great, transmission and steering feel fine, looks clean and well kept, no viable rust, and don't see any damage and everything seems to be working well, blades look a little dull so probably need sharpened. Of course I understand this about a 15 year old mower, but was like $4k new if I'm reading right.

1 owner garage kept, sounds good to me. I think it has the 18hp kohler too. I would offer $400 but would be ready to pay the asking if he wont come down. Good luck.

Thank you. I did end up buying it and it mowed well, my back yard was 12-18" tall since my old mower died, and it handled that very well except clogging up a bit in the tallest areas.
It does look like it has an oil leak, which is why it was traded in first place is my guess now, noticed some oil underneath it after I mowed last night, and it may burn some oil, smoke looked a bit grayish after it warmed up for maybe 30-45 minutes, but hard to tell since I'm new to mower? Oil is still at full after mowing for 2 hours, so nothing horrendous. Any idea if its piston gaskets leak or how to tell?

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.
