help!! I have a disease!

[Indy4570]

what is a guy to do? how can I pass this up? its an all day trip to go get it but its just too cheap. guy said he had it running, bought a new carb for it but it quit, and he is too old to mess with it anymore. Besides, I don't have a number series cub

[Indy4570]

trying to talk myself out of it, but its way under priced I think. besides, its cute I always loved those ginormous turf tires!

You can always drop it off at my house..

If you came here looking for support to NOT buy another tractor your barking up the wrong tree. Go get it.

[Indy4570]

its supposed to be a 185? I am not well versed on the number cubs. I thought they were yellow and white though. was there a 3 point for a 185? The owner listed the mower separate, judging from the condition of the mower the tractor wasnt used a lot. I got him to give me a price on the tractor and the mower. If it was running I doubt much can be wrong with it. hard to tell, looks like somebody loved it enough to clean it up. be a long day to go after it but at $600 I am having a hard time saying no to it. This would be a 60in mower?

Ok what is this lever? PTO? creeper?

[outdoors4evr]

That is the PTO Engagement lever. This is either a 154 or a 185. Can't tell without a serial number.
That dude even painted over the chrome hydraulic lift lever! Great looking mower deck and tractor! A little bit of decal work and put it to work!

OMG the guy is killin me, update, the tractor runs but it has to be pull started, it has the starter generator setup and thats not working. he dropped the price even further. I am battling a broken tooth and cant go get it today.

If that tractor was near me, I'd buy it. $600 is a great price.
A 3-pt hitch was an option for the 154 and 185. Not many have them.
The mower looks like an IH 3160 which is 60" wide with 3 blades and 3 belts.
The starter/generator can be rebuilt by most any good auto starter/generator shop. There are new ones available online but I have had poor results with the new ones.
Good find!

Indy, the only known cure for your disease is to quit cold turkey and give away all the cubs you have. Since I am within driving distance I am willing to help by bringing some of them to my place, as I am sure Eugene, T-Mo, Midmo, and Stanton would volunteer to do also

uhm....he dropped it to $550, and i have committed to buy it, just need to find someone to drive my truck and go with me, not driving on pain killers all that way

[Indy4570]

well it just goes to show ya, guy asked me to tell him I would buy it so he could take it offline. I did so and made arrangements to go get it saturday, called him back to let him know and he sold it. I guess his word wasnt so good, , now I don't have to worry about it

[Jim Becker]

Could have been worse. You could have found out he sold it out from under you when you got there with the trailer.

exactly, and now i don't have to worry about making the trip. I need to worry about the 140, it does more than that would have done for me anyways
