Barn Find Value question

Digger 66

Greetings comrades .

A friend of mine ( who  wishes to remain anonymous ) wanted me to post this here because he is too chicken .

Anyway would anyone be able to help put a price tag on this Cub Cadet ?

My thinking is in the neighborhood of $1200.00 > $1400.00 USD .

 

Cub Cadet 169

16hp Kohler, runs great. 

Hydraulics and

 3pt hook up in rear. 

Great shape with new tires?

I see quite a few parts that could be salvaged, painted RED and used to rescue a distressed :wh:.

Say cluck cluck to your bro for me Digger!:lol: I'D say you are not too far off the mark if your a Cub collector. I would personally start the bidding at say 900 just because I always want something for nothing and top out at 1350. Might very well go much higher than that to a Cub freak. Looks to be well cared for and a decent resto. Unless it's not a resto??? As with our horses that girl was made with our grandfather's steel. No aluminum blocks here!

I just always like the way cubs had their Kohlers twisted.

Looks like a good solid tractor to me. :handgestures-thumbupright: Your definitely in the ball park with your thought on the price. Of course I like my money in my wallet so I would try for a lower price.

WHX9 I got to thinking about the resto comment after I looked at that muffler.

 No three point, just the CC single bar rear lift. From what I see.

Personally the higher value for me would be less due to lack of 3 point. I'm thinking you may get that but it would be a Cub collector trying to fill a void in collection. Unless the 3 point hardware is available. That's almost always a 3-400 uplift regardless of color. Red, yellow, green etc

Now see what you started Digger .... the closet Cub fans are coming out in full force!:lol:Yes me included!:hide: Wasn't there an option to take off the back of the transmission and bolt on a 3pt with a factory kit? You should go incognito :ph34r:to a cub site and pose your questions Digger. Make sure to report back.

Tractor data does not mention a optional 3 point.  Just sleeve hitch

id like to have that one in my stable.

Would like it more with a 3 point through.

One thing that may affect the price - the CC 169 was only produced in 1974 with a production run of about 4000. Low production number might make it of more value (I wouldn't mention that to the seller though):ph34r:

:text-yeahthat:I've had a few cubs and the 169 is one of the rarest cubs they made. That one is beautiful. Everyone is right on with price. If it was a 149 or 129 price would prolly be 600-1000 in that condition if it's as nice in person as in pic. Sometimes pictures hide a lot defects you see in person..

That one doesn't have a 3 point on it.  Most Cubs of that era had a sleeve hitch option, which are easily found if you wanted to add one.  Extrememotorworks, does offer a 3 point though, as an aftermarket option.

To me, the price is too high.
