How about some pics of these two tractors?

Here's a pic of the 1872 after I unloaded it, you can see where the back of the fender is pushed in.

I'll have to get some more of the 1882 once I get it off the trailer.

I've pretty much convinced myself that the 1882 will be saved too, broken and rushed bodywork can be replaced.

Just as it popped up fore sale, I'm sure another will that has the parts I need.

Is it possible to adapt the 48" deck from the 2185 to use on the super? I have to have a smaller deck to mow the ditch along the highway. The 48" just makes it, no way a 60"will work.

Why in the world would you want to put a tiny 48" deck on a SGT? Just leave it on the GT and use it. If you want to mow with a 48" sell the SGT's to someone who will use them. This is exactly the kind of thing that just irritates me to no end.... people buying SGT's just to own one with no use for one. It's like buying a Farmall C with a 72" Woods deck and using it for a lawn mower, then saying it's too big. Duh. If you don't have use for a 60" deck, you don't intend to use it with 3pt (which neither tractor has), then what do you need a SGT for??

Because I'm 6'3" and have one artificial knee. I need the leg room.

I'm lost. The seat moves back the same amount, and there is no dash to hit your knees on. The fender pan is the same, so your feet can't be in any different place. Only difference is the dash and steering wheel is further away..... but your legs straddle the dash. So, what is the gain? Left brake pedal is further away..... but it's not a clutch, so you don't use it.

If a guy owns both, and says a super is more comfortable, why do you care?
I don’t think you can argue with him until you grow 3in taller.

More than 3". I'm 5'8".
All I know is the fender pan is the same. I don't see how there could be anymore room. It's not like a car where there is a dash in front of your knees. No... it's no skin off my nose either way.

Comfort. For me the 2185 feels crowded which why I set out to find a slightly more roomy machine. The deck on the 2185 does an amazing job on my lawn and I've rebuilt it top to bottom to make sure continues to do so.

For my yard, 95% is rolling to flat and a large deck is perfect, it's that 5% up front that even the 48" inch is too wide if you miss your approach and departure angles. So a comfy chassis plus the rights sized deck = mowing machine with a purpose.

As for need VS want.. I don't "need" to have my old Massey Ferguson at the house either, but there it is. These thing give me something to do.

So keep the little deck on the little tractor, and the big deck on the big tractor.

JON, what do you care if he decides he wants a 48 in deck on the super. It is his tractor to use as he sees fit. Not all supers came with 60 in decks. many were sold with a 50C. The 48 is only 2 in narrower. I have been using a 1872 to mow for almost 20 years and for a number of years I had a GT46 deck on it so I could use my bagger. I like the supers for a better ride and when mowing a ditch bank they are more stable. When I bought my 782 I moved the bagger over to it and now have a 60 in deck to mow the large areas. You do as you wish with your cubs and quit being so critical of others who do not subscribe to your way of thinking.

To nophun, It would be hard to adapt the 48 in deck from the 2185 to the 1872 without some fabrication. It could be done but if you want the smaller deck you might be better off finding a 48 in deck that was designed to work on a early cyclops tractor.

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.
