So this is the machine between a 982 and a 2072? Think I read here the very first 2072's still ran Onans--think somebody here has one.

Nice looking machine by the way.
John, the 1912 was built in 1985 & 1986 and is the same as a 982 with turning brakes and front ports standard. The cat 0 hitch and rear pto were a dealer installed option.

They also built a 1914 and it is the same as the 1912 with rear pto and cat 0 hitch standard. Rumor has it, there should be one retiring from the mid west and moving to Georgia next month.

Steve, I'm glad you got that. That looks like a nice machine.

It definitely is a nice machine, other than the oil slick. Every square inch under the hood is coated in oil. It’s probably the nicest machine I’ve brought home. My wife already said I’m keeping it and selling the 2284. We’ll see about that. I’m always playing musical chairs with tractors. Maybe I’ll keep the 1912 and the 1641 and sell the 2284. Depends on what I get into with the engine leak.

I started cleaning it up this morning. Long way to go but this thing is in great condition under all that grime.

It does look nice. Too bad they don't have powering steering.

I have a question! I raised my hand...
Is there any oil left in the motor?

That looks good! I saw that posted, I would have fought you for it if I didn't just get a 126 the day before.

I haven’t pulled the engine or anything yet but I’m itching to get to work on it. I took a hard fall yesterday herding chickens in wet grass and somehow landed square on my shoulder. So I’m slowed down by that right now. I downloaded the Onan service manual to read up on the disassembly but the instructions aren’t that clear about the flywheel side crank seal. Not getting it apart yet means the oil leak is just a guess at this point, but I am not clear on how much needs to come apart to get the seal replaced if that’s the problem. I’m considering options including not fixing this engine and repowering it. I’ve heard good and bad things about these Onan engines, including pricey parts. I’d like to keep it original but don’t want a money pit.

I would think replacing the crank seal would be a pretty straight forward procedure. Remove the blower housing and then the flywheel and then replace the seal. I wouldn't repower the tractor over a crank seal.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
