Must have used gold plating instead of yellow paint. I'd be the first to agree that it is costly and time consuming to restore a cub but not near what that guy claims he spent. Sounds to me like the wife said get rid of that thing and he posted it like that so it would not sell.

If that is his shop, I would say he does not need to sell it and just listed it high.
If he gets that price he is happy.
If not, he is happy.

I think the Chinese are in control of our pricing, AC....

They must also be in control of the painting, too, because for that price I want the footrests painted their original color!!

For those prices I could afford one of it's bigger brothers. The 125 is nice, but it needs a yellow starter. The black one sticks out like a sore thumb IMO.

I think you will keep seeing these crazy priced Cubs and it will keep driving the prices of other cubs higher and higher. People will see these ads and when they see Cubs at a more normal price they will jump on them. What us regular addicts consider high will be low to people who don't know. I know it will drive up prices but also drive up the value of what we now have. So if you find one that is a good deal jump on it. I feel the prices will only continue to go up.

I looked at the ad again and I wonder what's with the giant black decal on the tunnel cover? Did the "restorer" buy the decal kit and install everything that comes with it? I know that some suppliers of the 147 decal kit include one that goes on a WF tunnel cover, and maybe they bought from the same supplier.

The yellow lift handle looks weird too.

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.
