Little advice
I think i know the answers but i still want to ask. I found i believe is a cub cadet original. It looks in pretty good shape but is not running. I could spin the engine by hand and dosnt feel like it has a lot of compression. But the guy just want 150 for it wich sounds like a steal to me but im not sure on the market. Any help will be appreciated . Thanks Wil

Re: Little advice
Could have a broke connecting rod or a stuck valve. Check the front of the block for a hole. Look down spark plug hole and see if you can see the piston moving. I’m not even sure you would be able to do that but you may.

Re: Little advice
There's not much compression on those 7 hp Kohlers, it may be fine. I like the Originals, crude but a cool little tractor. I think they made about 65,000 and there are still many around.

Re: Little advice
OK, over a brief few months, I got, for free, many parts for an Original. The only things missing were tires, rims, frame and engine. The engine he sold for ~$150 and the buyer drove 3 or 4 hours one-way to pick it up. So, $150, for a complete Original sounds good to me. Oh, a good friend of mine, knee deep in CCs, is now the proud owner of all those goodies (for exactly what I paid for the stuff).

Re: Little advice
Those are great machines, built like a tank, basically the same transmission as the "full size" Cubs. Without seeing it, a value is a little hard to determine, but in reasonable condition I think it's worth his asking price.
Creeper gears, lights, fenders, etc. add to the value. I have bought a few that I was thinking would be "parts tractors". A little fooling with them and they ran, so it could be a simple fix. Even if you have to rebuild the engine, a little work and $$ and you will have a great garden tractor that should last another 60 years
A good friend of mine gave me a bunch of CC O parts, knowing I was knee deep in those little gem's. I have an extra engine, so I may have to assemble the parts and throw it in...
Good luck,
