$3600 CUB on Ebay???
See item # 7582126664
This is great for those selling--if it's for real. No hydraulics, "restored" Cub, no implements. Ad mentions new tires, belts, oil gauge, battery, etc. and oil change, paint but no mention of engine overhaul. Also mentions a whine in the rear end. Last bidder kicked the price up to $3600. I'm guessing this was the reserve and this bidder just threw in a high final price to make sure he gets it. I figure if his bid is legit, then he owns it now. Don't expect any more bids higher than this one. Or maybe I'm missing something?? Maybe just a shill??

above is the link to that ebay cub, which i would have to agree is a little steep. but it is probably worth it. i think mine is better looking, though, something about that no hydraulics makes em look naked. i know i got well over 4000 in mine, getting it close to orginial. the only internal engine stuff i did, was new head, look inside, cleaned top half as everything else looked great. if i was to sell mine i wouldnt consider anything less than 4000 or 3500 with a trade.

$3600 CUB on Ebay???
videodoc,
That's a fine looking tractor. We have a 1960 model with the same grill as yours, but for now it's a worker--not a show machine. I agree about needing to get a lot of cash for all the time we put into our machines, but we are still bound by the realities of the market. However when I see something like the $3600 no-hyd Cub, I get more hope that we can at least get a reasonable price for our labor. However, I'm still not convinced that the bid is legit. We can watch if it gets relisted again in the near future, then we'll know that something didn't pan out...
We won't get much done down here this weekend--I see we have lots of rain coming. Anyone need some rain??

It sure does shine. Of course, when the guy says:
"It has all new parts and restored back in original condition by IH specs. Every part and piece on this tractor is in place by IH specs."
he sure is inviting a visit from the correct police. Without taking that close a look, I see at least a half dozen things that don't meet that description (not counting the over the top paint). For now, I will just point out that there is no generator on it.
I wonder where he has been getting all those "Best of Show" awards. I don't know of many tractor shows that even have such things.

Well that just goes to prove shiny sells. For me that paint is a bit over top also. And obviously he never even started it up long enough to get it hot as the paint on the manifold isn't burnt at all. I'm not big on painting carbs, hoses, wiring, fluid lines, either. That ones been dipped in red paint and hung to dry. Nice tractor though just not my taste.

My dad was an IH dealer in the 50's when I was a kid. I remember being sent along with one of the employees to help pick out good paint jobs on Cubs and other IH tractors. There was no basecoat/clearcoat then. In fact, some of the paint jobs from the factory looked like they had been applied with a fly sprayer.

Original
Yeah, stating something is "as original" is a tough one! Are the Cub Correct Police as tough as the judges at the Porsche Concours competitions? There's trailer queens there, too, and the fellas that don't trailer their cars to the show spend hours with Q-Tips cleaning out the tire treads and everything else before judging!
Regardless of originality, I could never own such a tractor. I would have to have a special pair of felt slippers that I kept on the platform and that never touched the ground so I wouldn't scratch the shiny paint!
