That's what I thought as well, from the chart I saw on here it's after the MTD buyout?

Nice machine

142 is 1982. This is a very early CCC machine

 

[Andrew Rokey]

Sorry, what does the ccc stand for?

Cub Cadet Corporation

 

[Andrew Rokey]

So was it manufactured by MTD?

 

[cubs4lifeofme]

Look's like MTD bought out cub in 1981

Nice machine

Thanks, they put a new Briggs Vanguard 18ho repower. It came with the snow plow and an extra deck and deck carrier. What would you think it was worth? Hope I didn't over pay..

Price varies alot by location and attachments. I have learned not to ask question's you don't want your feeling's hurt over. lol

I wouldn't pay more than $800 for that machine. The Briggs is a downgrade to me. Much rather see a Series II KT 17, Magnum 18/20, or Command swap in there.

That Briggs will run a lot smoother at all speed ranges than a shake & bake KT17. I have a rebuilt 10 over Briggs L head in mine. Mounted soild just like the OEM 582 were. Nice machine Andrew. Should run you a long time.

Man I've always had good luck with the Vanguard line of small engines, have you had bad luck with them?

Any idea what became of the original engine?
