Dan Hankins 80 #1 Posted October 14, 2016 Got a question for ya all. The cub cadet in the picture was my grandpa's and due to family disagreements it will unfortunately be going on the auction the end of this month. My question is what would you guys think it's worth it does run good and mow. I have a number in my head that I'm willing to go to that I believe is more than its worth but I'm adding in some sentimental value, but I would like some input on what you would be willing to pay without the attachment and history that I have. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aldon 4,826 #2 Posted October 14, 2016 Looks like one on fleabay for 500 that may time out. It does have a minor governor issue. So i would use that as a top end and add whatever sentimental value you attach to it. If not for sentimental value, personally I would try and get it for less than full street value.

diesel cowboy 263 #3 Posted October 14, 2016 There was one that sold recently on ebay for $400 without a mower but it had the rear lift on it. $400-500 is about the absolute max I'd go on one unless like you it had sentimental value but even then I doubt I'd go over $700.

Dan Hankins 80 #4 Posted October 14, 2016 Thanks guys I'm right in line with what you guys have said just wanted some input. Grandpa bought it brand new and was really proud of it. I can't remember if he bought it in 67 or 68 but I have the paper work he gave 850 for it new. My number was 550 and if it wasn't for the history I personally would only go 250 to 300 on it.

T-Mo-(Moderator) 4,496 #5 Posted October 14, 2016 I had about four 104s, all at the same time. Of the narrow frame Cubs, they're probably the most common. I agree with the others, $500 would be about the max for a running one with deck, without the desirable options like creeper gear, hydraulic lift, sleeve hitch, etc. I wouldn't mind having another 104, but just not at this time and it is a bit far for me to go after.

19richie66 17,508 #6 Posted October 14, 2016 (edited) If I had the money and the memories of the tractor made it worth more to me than anyone else on the street, I'd pay higher than what it was worth. You got the paperwork to go with it, it was your grandfather's and it looks to be in nice shape. I couldn't let my grandfathers tractor get away unless it was a way out in left field price. Hope you end up with it. I can't make out the model number but I have one that looks almost just like it. My wife's old landlord bought it new in '70 and when he passed, we got it.

WVHillbilly520H 10,373 #7 Posted October 14, 2016 I had a 106 with the "creeper" hi/lo sub transmission before I got the new 520h back in 1998, The older cubs with cast iron rears gear or hydro were the best up till about 1984-85 and my dad still has an "original" 7hp(1961-63) and mid 70s 1200 12hp gear and a 1450 14hp hydro all still running, we gave $350 for the 1450 2 yrs ago,so long story short yep $500 range,Jeff.

DennisThornton 4,769 #8 Posted October 14, 2016 I watch my local CL almost everyday and I include Cubs in my search. I see the older 1XX models for around $500, seldom much less but sometime more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's just going to get a good cleaning and new fluids then preserved, if I restored it or repainted it then all the original is gone and it wouldn't be grandpa's anymore. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dan Hankins 80 #16 Posted February 12, 2017 Went out to visit dad today and he had been going through old pictures. He found this and gave it to me, that's me setting on it when I was about three years old. 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
