Charlie - I was just going by what it says on the list of all the Main threads. Here's what it says for the main Forum:
IH Cub Cadet Tractor Forum
A discussion forum for
IH Cub Cadet garden tractors. Absolutely no 'For Sale' or 'Wanted to Buy' posts and please no links to online selling sites (Ebay, businesses, etc.) Also no " . . . how much is my
IH Cub Cadet worth . . ." posts. Your entire post will be deleted if these guidelines are not adhered to.
But if the rules have changed, well then honestly, before I whip off what I think the value might be I'd like to see some pics.
Jerry - can you post any pics??? You say nothing rusted, paint very good, those are big pluses. You also say Hydro and Kohler are very strong but needs new carb and steering work. I have to say it's gotta be hard to tell if the Kohler is good if it really needs a new carb. Is it more likely the carb needs an overhaul? Is it leaking slightly? That's a big difference than saying it needs a new carb. And how much play is there in the steering? Does the wheel turn 1/4 turn, 1/8 turn, couple inches, before the front wheels start to turn? If it's got new tie rod ends did you also install them on the drag link? If so then all the play must be in the steering box, which really isn't that difficult to overhaul. Pics will make a big difference in determinig what your 129 is worth. (I actually like the red stripe on the sides of the hood better than the blue one you get with a 149 or 169).
