I went to an auction today to look at a cub 154 lowboy. I only had $450 on me and it went for $900. Included a mower deck and front blade. Sure do wish I had more money on me today. Oh well you win some you loose some. Ran pretty good and the tires where pretty good on back fronts where trailer tires. Genny/start did make a little noise but over all it should have sold for more like $2000-3000

I find that not taking money with me to auctions saves me a lot of cash! Otherwise, I'd buy things I just don't need.

....well, why go to an auction at all then?!! Youd save gas, time, etc.etc.. Why not haul something home while your there thats what I say. Make the trip worth while. No use in watching other people walk away with what you came for!!! BID! BID! BID! MAN! Ok, Im off the soapbox, I need a pill. Later

If it was like the 154 Loboy I owned once, he paid all it was worth. That was the most useless tractor for anything but being an over grown lawn mower when you could keep a clutch in it.. The clutch parts for it cost 3-5 times what other tractors cost and do not last. The clutch and pressure plate and throwout bearing are back at the transmission and have to be adjused almost weekly as well as trying to keep the clutch brake adjusted correctly. The PTO is 15/16 diameter 15 spline LEFT HAND rotation and no other implements interchange with it. Having only 3 forward gears,there was never a gear speed correct for doing much with it. Always just kept it connected to the CLB 60 Mott flail mower that was specially made for it and finally found a sucker but he wouldn't buy it with out the flail mower. Was glad to finally sell it and cut my losses. $140.00 clutch assembly. $125.00 drive shaft assembly. Something every week almost and this tractor was almost new.

I thought it might be one of those plates where you have to figure out what the phrase is- like 6ULDV8 (someone in Washington had that plate for a couple of years, 'til somebody at DOL figured it out).

Thats about all I have seen them bring lately.Small diesel compacts have killed the market on older small gas tractors.Last Summer at a sale $500 was all they could get on a nice one,the owner didn't let it go.

Hey Old,
Just be glad you didn't have my wallet. Was going to get some parts today, checked it and I only had $7. Think my wife must have taken the rest to buy my Christmas present?

True and I had mine with me but it doesn't have any money there either so that wouldn't have done me any good
