Remember the 2086 panels don't share the same muffler and cooling slot cut-out pattern as the 2182 or 1782, same idea, but a different program. Sam is right though, not sure you know what you are getting yourself into! It has been a shame that so many of these machines were scrapped or parted out because MTD has chosen discontinue so many parts for this series of tractors.

I believe MTD is interested in selling new complete machines. Not parts and not interested in customer loyalty as witnessed by them discontinuing many, many parts that aren't really that old and charging three prices for the ones that are still on the books.:angry:

Further testified to by the stuff they are selling today and calling them lawn/garden tractors.

I have the 2082 and really thinking about taking the 82' searies dash and parlaying the trim over my cyclops. I see people have talked about it but never seen a full pic of it with the tins on and how it looks when finished.

If it looks good i will have to find a 82 series and cyclops dash to do this woth.
