2182 project

PaulF · #1 01-17-2015, 04:49 PM

Just wanted to start a thread to share pics of this 2182 I picked up somewhat locally from another Cub enthusiast. He was in the process of swapping 782 tin onto it and I'm taking over from here.

I'll share some more pics as I get into it and look it over, but here it is today on the trip home.

Good looking find,do u know if there is a reason for the AGs being on backwards on the front?

If I had to guess, I'd say the wheels are on backwards. Tires are okay.

Any time you put a lug (Ag tire) on a non-driving wheel, it is a good idea to run them backwards. That way the ground rolls the tire the same way that a driving wheel would push. Make sense?

I asked the same question about the front ags and was told that the non driving tires should self-clean better that way...not sure if I like them that way or not.

I would b interested in some real world results, like using a plow or something like that. What John says does make sence, which is why I was wondering.

Jon already has "real world experience" with this. Not my first rodeo. A non driving tire with ags WILL "clean" better when on "backwards".

That said, on a GT...... you probably really wouldn't notice much difference. Unless you're in the mud, then you will. Machine just isn't heavy enough.

Nice find on the 2182 Paul. Now how did ya get Steve to sell that? I thought he was gonna do a pair of turboed Kubotas. The turbo he put on his 1572 is slick and sounds good. Did you get to see it in person? Congrats.......

Thanks to those that responded with the kind words. All I did was post a "Wanted" ad, and Steve responded with an email. As for his 1572, I sure did see and hear it, that thing looks great and sounds so nice! In the future I may have to look into purchasing the turbo kit that he installed.

Pulled the inspection plate from the tunnel and removed the seat. Everything looked normal, although with it running, I did hear a very faint "squeak" emanating from the fan portion of the driveshaft. It almost sounded like the little chirping noise you get when drilling through steel...anyone have a suggestion?

And does anyone recognize if this seat a factory option or aftermarket?
