New Owner of a 582
 

Today at a local Antique Tractor show I Bought a 582 to add to my collection of cubs. Pictures to follow. I paid $375.

Looking forward to some pics. The dealer my dad retired from didn't sell too many of them compared to the 6 and 782 models. I think folks were leaning toward the bigger engine and the hydro. During the time when those were built they only sold one 582 special and one 982, it took a couple years to move those. The 382, 682,and 782 models would somehow sell themselves almost. The 582 would sell easily to anyone wanting a new version of their old reliable gear drive.

So, whats the plan, mow grass, garden work, backup for when everything else is broke, trailer queen?

Congrats on your new 582! How about some pic's?
:TTWWP:

I am picking it up tomorrow I haven't decide what to do with it. I got the fever and had to buy it.

Here are some pics of the 582 I bought.

Nice! :beerchug:

It has some issues. It won't shut off with the key and will only run with the choke wide until it gets warm then it kind of runs.

You got a good deal I think. Your problems sound pretty minor. Congrats!

engine transplant at some point in time? says 18 hp on the air filter cover

I was wondering if any know where I could find a wiring diagram for a 582?

:bigthink:

Good looking 582! I wouldn't paint it , just try waxing or buffing it.

Given the stance, I think you should name her Ilene. :biggrin2:

Congrats on the 582, looks to be in nice shape! :beerchug:

I am having trouble with the carb. The float is sticking and will not shut off. Below pics of the carb. I am having trouble finding info about this carb. I was wondering if there is a rebuild kit for it?

yes there are rebuild kits for that carb. you need to get the numbers off the engine tin to order a kit though

Your IH emblem on the front looks a little drunk.


Cool find!

That's a nice 582, the red Cubs are my favorite, just look more IH to me. nice score. Wouldn't think it'd be much to rebuild a Briggs carb, good luck
