The way it looks in the pictures makes it look really bad (not bad in a good way), but the real difference between a POS and something that could be something is all in how it's put together. If the modifications on this unit were engineered and executed well, it really could be something.

If you're interested in it, go look, check to see if the modifications look "sturdy" or if it really is as bad as the pictures look. Have the guy show you the modifications and explain to you how things were done.

Hard to tell what it's worth, if that's a 20,000 mile V6 and the tractor runs and drives well, it may not take much to make something decent out of it.

Looks like it still has good parts on it. I'd remove the motor, sell it, and use the parts on other machines.

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.
