[AT] Cub lowboy

[DBigdog]

Herb,
    The first thing to determine is whether he is talking about an offset 
cub lo-boy or one of the later numbered lo-boys such as the 154, 185 or 184. 
Regardless of that, there would have to be some implements included in the 
deal for it to be worth that kind of money.  There is a list of things to 
look for in the ATIS cub FAQs.  The number series lo-boys had some weak 
areas such as the clutch and pto.

A good friend, retired but worked all of his life, so he is looking for 
things to do where he can stay busy and might make a few bucks; so he is 
dabbling in old tractors.     He ran across an IHC Cub Lowboy with new tires 
on the rear; but has not been run since the guy passed away ten years ago. 
It has been stored under a shed, with tarp over it; I suggested he get 
details about this storage method.   She wants $2000; I told him ???.   He 
will find out more about it and get back with me; talk about  "the blind 
leading the blind".    If memory serves some Cubs had a casting up front 
that was subject to cracking if one hooked to the front axle to pull start; 
anything to look for on Lowboys.  He will get details of model no, etc and 
probably be back to me tomorrow.
Will appreciate your thouhts, etc.
Herb
