[AT] Cub

[Spencer Yost]

It seems to be one of the nicer Cubs I’ve seen in a good while.  As far as concrete data points are concerned I only have one fairly recent one:  I saw a Cub that was a hair nicer - also with new tires - with a few implements at a tractor auction about a year and a half ago and it went for $1200. 

I personally wouldn’t go over $1250 but wouldn’t fault a guy for going as high as $1500.  That seems to be in line with what everyone else is suggesting .

I hope you have a shed tall enough to fit that muffler under :-)

Hope this helps,

Spencer

Equipped with a sickle mower, its only purpose has been to keep a field mowed.  I am still putting the pieces of the story together, but it seems that he hit a rock and bent something on the mower, parked it, and found some other way to mow that field.  The Cub has now been sitting for three years, and I guess he decided it's time to get rid of it.  The owner is, well, let's just say not an antique tractor guy.  The nice dry shed where the Cub lives is shared with his collection of Porsches.  (Cars, not tractors).

There's a drain pan under the front bolster, so maybe a coolant leak or front-main seal...?  Ran when parked, no, really it did.  No reason to suspect anything seriously wrong mechanically.

I'm in the Northeast and Cubs have always commanded a premium around here.  Wondering if they are still holding their value or whether collector interest has moved on.
