He Runs Cub Parts Business In His Spare Time
 ✖  |
If you need a part for a Cub Cadet, Chris Westfall might have it. Westfall got into the used parts business when he went looking for a lawn mower and got hooked on Cub Cadets. Hundreds of tractors and 10 years later, he sells used Cub Cadet tractors and parts as a business.
"A friend had an old Cub Cadet in a barn. I found a mower, then a snow plow, followed by a tiller, and it just went from there," says Westfall. "Today I have a 28-ft. trailer filled with parts that I take to tractor shows. I try to keep from 50 to 100 tractors on site for parts. I also sell new Cub Cadet parts, as well as Kohler motor parts. It's my second full-time job."
Westfall often has 10 to 12 Cub Cadet tractors for sale. Where he once did restoration work as well, today he sells "as is".
"I used to have three and do pulling with them, but now I'm down to one," he says. "I held on to a Cub 122, 12-hp model with a Hawk Bilt trencher that's called a ground saw. It's quite rare."
When he finishes restoring the 122, it will serve as an eye-catcher at shows he attends. He also maintains a website.
"I've sold parts to collectors in Sweden and South Africa, as well as all over the U.S. and Canada. I also get a lot of business from word of mouth."
Westfall uses past customers and acquaintances to find tractors to add to his parts list or to resell. He says he is always looking and maintains a list of models that customers want.
"Prices depend on condition and model and can vary from $200 to $800 for gas or $1,400 for diesel," he says. "Some, like older models with fenders and headlights and creeper gear options, are very sought after. Other models are very plain Jane."
Westfall operates the business evenings and weekends. He suggests calling after 4 p.m. Eastern time or contacting him by email.
