[SEL] What's it Worth?

[John Hall]

Don't keep up with the values but I can tell you what you have is one of the 
last "real" Cadets. The 6 and 782's got respect from the dealers. They were 
built about the time Cadet was spun off to MTD. Their weak link was the 
engine. Definetly a fine piece of equipment, as I'm sure you know!
