Hello!
Just inherited my Dad's 1969 IH Cub (yellow/white in highboy configuration), which came with a number of implements. Of most interest is an IH Model 105 side-mount sickle bar, which was used for mowing roadsides and rock walls on my Dad's farmette in New Hampshire. This was clearly an industrial-class mower vs. the more common Cub-22 sickle, and I recall a few in use by the State of New Hampshire for roadside right-of-way mowing on old IH 140's back around the time my Dad bought his Cub. We have both a Cub-22 and the 105, but the 105 was the tool of choice for most mowing tasks.

At this point in time, trying to determine if we keep the Cub, or let it go to a new home. Of interest to us is what the 105 mower might be worth, as that's the most unique implement in the collection. We have reasonably good ideas about approximate value for the rest of the implements, and the tractor itself.

I've gotten the impression that the Cub-mounted 105's are fairly scarce, especially in operable condition. This one is complete, fully operable, and has a good number of spare parts which Dad put away such as spare PTO driveline sheet metal, complete knife sections, and other wear and support parts. Manual is in hand, as is parts manual. Quite a versatile mower, capable of cutting at 90 vertical, down to a 45 below horizontal range with a five foot reach and a curb-lift capabilty to have the wobble drive head clear obstacles near the right-side wheel areas. Way quieter and less vibration than the 22, and makes the Cub a very nice mowing tool, indeed.
Assuming this implement is in above-average mechanical condition, but not pristine in appearance, what would a reasonable estimate of either collector or user value for the 105 mower be these days? Any thoughts from those of you out there with more Cub collector experience and exposure, and more insights as to value of various Cub-related implements and items? I can't recall seeing another 105 for sale - or in use - in my part of Southern New Hampshire or northern Mass - other than this one.
Thanks for your thoughts.
