[Farmall] Cub Cadet 149 Hydro

[E. John Puckett]

I have never had much dealings with them, but in my area a used beat up 
cadet with a rusty deck will sell for 500 to 600, I would say the price 
for the condition you described with blower is well worth it.  You could 
probably sell the blower for nearly half the price he wants, and the 
hitch for another 100 or so if you do not want them.
