Good afternoon. I own a Cub Cadet 102 from the 1960’s and I’m wondering if anyone has any suggestions on what I should sell it for…
It is located in Door County Wisconsin.

With no more info than your provided. 50 bucks would be a good price.

cosmetic condition, mechanical condition, optional features/equipment, etc. make a huge difference, as does location.
more information please, and pictures sure help.
odds are, it *could be* worth somewhere in the three-figures, but we’ll need more information (and ideally, pictures) in order to offer more than a guess.

As noted above, more info needed.

Sorry, I had trouble with the photo format the first time. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Francesca, I'm from the old school and want to help a woman who may have limited technical experience. No offense. Guys on this list are like me. Does the engine start? Is there a battery? Likely need new. Big price difference between running/not running.
You have a Kohler K241 cast iron engine, a work horse. Check the oil level, it holds 2 qts of SAE 30 wt oil. The rear of the tractor (transaxle) is greasy, probably an oil leak. It holds 8 pints of 30wt oil, between the grease marks see the bolt, remove it as that is the fill mark. The body is in good condition, no rust that I can see, a bonus. The tire may just have a slow leak.
Clean up the body, the grease, with 409 or somesuch. Buyer wants to see engine/mower running and cleanliness...you'll have a $500 tractor.
Cheers, Jack

Engine oil capacity is 1.5 quarts, and gear drive trans oil capacity is 7 pints.

That is a pretty nice original tractor!

Engine oil capacity in MY 102 is 2 qts....noticed somewhere 4-5 different oil pans for my 10hp Kohler K241.

There is one Cub-spec K241 oil pan. I guess two if you count the deep sump one used on the K301-K341. Maybe yours didn't have the flat one anymore, and somebody changed it to the K301-K341 style? The 102 owner's manual states 1 1/2 quarts, and that's what every K241-powered Cub Cadet I had used.

 

[lpalma]

It is an early 102 with the Ooops pedal....also looks like it was re powered at one time as the muffler would be different. Is it a K301 on the tag by the coil?

The 'somewhere' is Jacks Small Engines. A schematic depicts four pans, labeled B3, B4, B5 (NLA) and B6. Mine seems a B6.
Enough said.

The only oil pan for a K241 in a Cub Cadet is KH-237588 (per the Cub Cadet parts lookup), which is "B2" in Jacks Small Engines generic parts diagrams for a K241. Those do not necessarily have the correct part numbers for a Cub Cadet. The CC parts lookup has the correct part numbers for the Cub Cadet application of the engine.

The oil capacity of your 102 and every 102 made is 1-1/2 quarts. Not 2. It's right there in the owner's manual:

I'm very aware of the lubrication table. Who is to say that the owners manual is 100% accurate ALL the time, especially after 55 or so years. I'll say it one more time to make sure you understand, the oil capacity of the Kohler K241 engine in my CC102 is 2 (two) quarts. Period.

hang in there, Francesca.
tangental though it may seem, most of the banter on this forum is actually constructive and knowledge-sharing!
