Some of you may have seen I am on the hunt for a diesel Cub. I have run across a 1987 1782 about 3 hours away from me. It seems that an older gentleman has it, but does not know too many details unfortunately.
It has a front mount snow blower and a 60" mower deck. I am assuming the deck is a Haban since from my research that is the 60" option on the cyclops tractors?
He says the engine was rebuilt last summer or the summer before for $800. That raises many questions in my mind, but he didnt know how many hours it has now or how many it had before or since the rebuild. He is asking $3500, if its worth a trip I will go look at it. But that price combined with the engine story makes me somewhat concerned about its history.
Do you guys have any thoughts or opinions on it?
Thanks
