Looking at a couple different ones to buy. One is a 1976, 185, snow plow, 60" mower, 3pt. hitch, $2850.

Other one is also a '76, turf tires, 60" mower, front blade, $3600.

Second one looks a little prettier, from the pictures. Are these prices good? Anything special to look for in terms of problems? The second one doesn't have the 3 pt.; can it be added easily?

Thank you for your time,
Anthony

It all depends on a few major considerations..

1. Location - what part of the country are you in?
2. Condition - is the Cub in really good mint condition, has it been restored, has it been well maintained, does everything work. Are there cracks on the ears or the finals. Also what is the condition of the accesory equipment such as the plow?
3. Desireablility - are Cubs highly sought after in your neck of the woods?
4. Your Desireability - how badly do you want a Cub?

These are just a few thing to take into consideration. I have 3 of them. One I bought so that I can do my gardens with and I made sure that I was able to get a Cub-194 Moldboard plow with it. This is my 1948 - Ellie-Mae. I also added a McCormick-Deering Leveling and Grader Blade, a Cub-189 Two-Way Plow, a snow plow, a spring tooth harrow, a disc harrow etc.....

This Cub I paid $1,000.00.
The other two Cubs well differnt story...

My 1947 - Granny I paid $850.00 but it needs a lot of TLC. Jethro my 51 I got for $100.00 and he needs a number of transplants..... .

I think the price on the Yellow one is kind of high. Start with a $2,000.00 offer and work up from there. He probably knows is price is up there, but he wants to be able to get what he really wants and Haggling is the way to do it.

See what else he has available as weel - even old horse-drawn implements. They are very useful and easily modified to work with the Touch Control.

Oh, yeah for that price the Hydraulics better be with it and functioning correctly.

See email for more info.

As for the 154 - well, the price again I feel and that is just what it is - MHO... should be more around $1800.00 to $2,000.00. Start with $1500.00 and go from there.

The implements for the 154 should be worth almost $1,000.00 by themselves. And for the Lo-Boy about the same...

By the way... for the Lo-boy

The unit with the 3 point is priced very well. The three point adds a lot of versitility. If you can use them they both cheap.


I'm still kicking myself for letting a very sharp 154 with a belly mower go by for $1100, then another 154 w/belly mower in rough condition go for $700.

Compare the prices to a new green unit of similar size.

Both prices are great. The Lo-Boys have at least 50 years life left in them.
