New to this Site - Cub Cadet to Sell or Give Away

[shalbers13]

Hi - I'm new to this site and am in MN. My parents home in Wisconsin currently has a very old Cub Cadet that was my fathers. We do not know what to do with it or what sort of value it might hold for someone else. If anyone can advise us on what we have and could do with it to be useful for others, we'd be very grateful. (See the attached photos.) Thank you!

It looks like you have a model 100 with the wide tire option, also know as flotation tires or turf tires. It looks like the tractor itself is pretty much all there except for the grill, but there are no implements and no mower deck. Not knowing if it runs or not, I would offer $200 for it as it. If it runs at all and moves/stops under it's own power, I would offer $300. If it runs and drives well, I'd go a little higher. ...but I'm a sucker for old American iron that looks cool.

It looks like you have an original seat and it looks like the hood is not rotted nor worn. That makes it a good candidate for a restoration.

Since I don't need another one, and we are not close enough for shipping to be reasonable, my numbers are only theoretical. I'm not actually looking to buy another tractor

I just bought a good running 122 with a mower deck for $550, so that is what I would consider to be the value if it were fixed up with a deck on it.

A brand new modern tractor with a deck at my local Home Depot is around $2k these days.

If you want to box up the seat & ship it to me, I would give you $50 for it, but I would rather see you sell the entire tractor to someone who is going to restore it

Thanks for the insights! Anyone else have opinions or thoughts about what to do with dad's tractor in WI?

If it was your fathers, do you have fond memories of it?
if so, consider if down the road are you going to wish you still had it?
If this is not the case and you are comfortable selling it, no problem.
But so many times ppl here and elseware, would love to have tractors,cars/trucks or keep sakes of loved ones that are long gone.

Excellent questions. No - we are all fine to sell it. I don't recall him using it up at our tree farm much if at all. And none of us have the acreage or ability to use or store it anymore. That isn't the case with the green John Deere he has and used but that's a different website.
