I'm pretty certain, the red 184 and 185 do the best in "holding their value". Hey, I'd dam near give up my whole collection, and then some for a good 154 Lo Boy!

I have 5 acres, and a 154 would suite me just fine, lol! Jon, your pretty much on the ball about a trade in to a dealer. last month, the local CC dealer picked up a 154 in nice condition on a trade in. The 154 came with a tow behind Woods self powered 60" deck. Dealer said he put 400 into the lo boy, and was asking 1800!!

Like I said, I'd sell mine. I'd even be willing to meet you to get rid of it. For the right price, I'd deliver it to your door!

Just as a note, the 185 was yellow. 184 was red.

I have two 154's and a 48 cub...love them all, but they are high maintenance and the 154's do have clutch issues, but if you have good mechanical skills then these repairs are a snap......I don't have a 125, but I have a 100, and that little bugger works hard and starts right up every time. The thing to remember is the loboys only have 12 to 15hp depending on year and piston style.



I also have a 9N, but I wont say the "F" word on this forum.....LOL

They want crazy money around my area for cubs. You could find a decent M or H for cheaper than a cub!

I may make the deal. I found someone this weekend actually looking for a lowboy. I'll make the trade then sell the lowboy and make a profit.

Definitely nothing wrong with that!
