My 982D build
 

ok this thread is gonna take a while but here goes
got the 2082 tore down for sand and paint... not a fan of the rockshafts and brake shafts have one i couldnt get out at all
are these powder coated? the sander dont like it

this kinda sucks since the seller said hydro is fine... anyone ever welded one of these? i think ill give it a try if it dont work out i have the one from the 782D. looks like im gonna have to put in another order to extreme. ill post again when i have more pics as the build goes on

Don't even worry about the broken mount, get a set of SGT braces from Xtreme, problem solved.

thats what i was thinking

spent last two evenings stripping and sandblasting the frame what a b#@%h must be powder coat found spray on chemical stripper that dont work too bad will post pics later

finally got enuff paint off now to blast the flash rust out used stripper in a spray can worked pretty good but took several attempts in some places

Thanks for the pics and update.

Is it a IH 982 (79-81) or a CCC 982 (82-85) ? This is a rare and nice bird, founding implements for it most be a PITA. Of all CC this is the one I wish I own brand new and an original of course :-)

Looking forward to see the progress you did on that gem, keep the good work:ThumbsUp:

sorry for the misunderstanding i started out with a 782d and a 2082 and my final result will be basically a 982d

This thread tittle is confusing but the mistake is mine since you clearly specify stripping a 2082 frame in your first post. It's a interesting build to follow and a unique bird repro.

I wonder what diesel engine ICC or CCC may have swap in the 982 if they had build one? What was available between 79 to 86? I bet they fit at less a 16 to 20hp if they could.

got some paint on it finally need to wet sand a few runs out and ad second coat

Looks good, I'm in the process of sanding on a 782 getting it ready for paint, what kind of paint are you using?

The new red paint is looking great!

have a place locally called blaines farm and fleet they had valspar enamel in IH red got a quart of that and some hardener. shot it thru a 20 dollar gun and boy did i get what i paid for. woulda worked better using a brush lol

I just bought a gun for $16 at Harbor Freight because of the good things I read about them in forums. Is that where you got yours? I'm a little nervous now!

nope got mine a that blaines place. im sure its my fault talked to my sister in law who has a body shop (too lazy to make the 60 mile round trip twice to have her do it) said from what i told her paint was too thick. so im sure its my fault cuz even for 20 dollars im sure it should have worked better than it did. se said hit it with 600 grit wet dry paper to remove runs and hit it again with thinner paint

been a long while since last update tractor is back running. didnt paint hood and sides or fenders cuz i knew fitting the cab would scratch them up boy was i rite. got cab mounted need to take back apart and throw some paint at it heres a few pics just so ya dont yell at me... it was a john deere cab i picked up for 20 bucks (wich im sure is a lew price) had to cut the foot boxes off it and fab up some new ones ... well here ya go

Looks great. Good work, glad the patience paid off.
There is something about those red tractors I can't get enough of. IH

$20? $20 really? I hate you!:Cry1:

Don't hate him because now every time a doe is in heat his GT is gonna run off :biggrin2:

another quick update got some paint smeared on the cab before winter in spring it will come off and get a quality paint job. had that 54 inch JD blade layin around for a while so i put it to use hacked up a mule drive fro the front mount and fabbed up a undercarriage kinda like a haban used it done pin on i have to unbolt it but it seems to be holding up well nuff said now for the pics

heres a few of the blade and undercarriage and the heater

Oh man. I looked at these pics and saw snow and thought it must be an old thread.

I might be in trouble in getting mine ready for winter, which it seems is here already.

That setup is going to work great for you!! Nice tractor.
