The 7234 is a 7000 series CUB 23HP 4WD Standard Transmission(Thus 7 23 4, a7232 is 2WD, 7235 is a Hydro 4x4). These were built between 1995-1997(maybe 1994-1997). The engine on this is a 3 cyl mitsubishi, which has plety of power for most task and runs very well. I just traded in My 7232 which is identical except for the 4WD. The tractor ran very good, but some of the things that bugged me were the cheap battery that leaked acid and cause rust in the battery tray, a poorly desgined lift mechanism for the 72" belly mower that was constanly breaking (don't know if the one you are looking at has a belly mower or not). I also broke one of the lower 3pt pivot pins once and instead of having an easily removable pin it was a bulky $60 plate that required the removal of 5 bolts and of course needed to me custom fit with a grinder. In 600 hrs of use I never had to take the tractor to the shop for any transmission or engine repairs. All and all I think it is a decently built tractor, I just had a few little annoyances with mine. The Cubs don't hold their resale value very good around here (Near St. Louis MO) and I'm guess that is probably true in most areas. A 7234 with a loader. I don't think I would give over 11,000 for that machine equiped with just the loader. (assuming 400-800hrs on it)Thats my 2C worth ....

Larry,
This may be to late to help you but here goes. I bought a 7234 in 1997 with a Bush Hog FEL and have about 100 hours on it. I use it to plow a pretty good sized driveway, move some trees/wood around, rocks etc. It has been an excellent tractor and has done everything I have asked it to do and more. Overall I think it is a good tractor and I think you would be happy with what it can do. The basic fit and finish of it are pretty good except there are a few bolt heads here and there that have rusted which bugs me but most of it was already there, coming from the dealer. It has always been garaged so it is not from sitting outdoors. I think probably the finish is somewhat better on either JD or Kubotas. I have had some concerns about the clutch that I can't seem to adjust according to the service and owner manuals. I know I haven't worn it out but it is not according to the book. The dealer told me he couldn't find anything wrong with it as well as the Cub Tech Reps. If I'm not mistaken Case used to sell them years ago before MTD picked up the line. Like MarkS said it is all Mitsubishi Engine, Transmission, etc. Very reliable, a good work horse. I can't really comment on used price, mine was below $13K brand new. Best wishes, let us know how it turns out for you. ....
