Trade this for this??
I got a 73 and an original. Both don't run and need work. Mainly the original. Buddy offered me a 129 that runs, drives, and mows. It has gator blades, 44?in deck, extra 38in deck, and a bucket load of narrow and wide frame parts. Should i do this trade?

73's are one of the more rare Cubs (4th rarest, I believe) they are highly sought after and desirable in the Cub Cadet community.
And Originals are Originals, many people want them for various reasons. The trade though, is totally up to you, without knowing your plans, wants and needs, it's really hard to tell from here. Good luck in your choice.

I'd rather have the 73 and the Original, but I'm a narrow frame guy and could care less about the 129.

I'm the opposite. I hate narrow frames. Love wide frames. I'd personally let the 73 go plus some cash and keep the original. There is something about an original that no other cub can do.
I had a bunch of nf cubs. Sold them all but my 122 which hasn't been started in close to 3 years now

Id say keep the 73 and original. 73 is in top 5 rare list, plus what serial is the O? Might be early? Let's hope. And then ask your friend how much he wants for the 129 and other stuff and buy it too. It's time to admit that you have a problem like the rest of us and embrace it.

I love all cubs myself but NF are my fav by far exp 7hp cubs and in my area 129s are everywhere. I would keep the 73 and o, maybe ask him what he wants just to buy the 129.. Just my opinion

Im in illinois and wide frame cubs like say a 109 or 129 or whatever arent very common over here. Mostly narrow frames. Im gonna plow snow and do other stuff with it in the winter just like my 109 will be doing too. I was planning on selling the extra parts i get. But with me wanting to do that kind of stuff the narrow frames wont hold up BUT i love the look of them.

What about the narrow frame makes you think it wont hold up to plowing snow? Id much rather have a nf with a bolt on plow mount as there have been a few times the plow mount has popped off my wf while plowing deep heavy snow. Do what you want but i dont think you can justify it by saying the nf wont hold up.

Im meaning there arent much girth to narrow frames. Like my 73 weights maybe 750 with a plow and me on it (estimating these weights btw) and my 109 will weigh nearly 1000 pounds with the weight of the plow, me, and wheel weights i have that dont fit the narrow frame rims.

Financially - I don't think that's a good trade. The 73 and maybe $100 out of your pocket, or straight across for the O, seems more fair to me.
Practically - I would vastly prefer to own the 129 over either earlier model. If for no other reason than the hydro. That's just a matter of preference.

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.
