Picked up a 682
 

Picked up a super clean 682 with a 44 inch deck and a folder full of receipts and a spreadsheet of when it was serviced and what was done since it was new. It still has the protective plastic on the serial number plate. Got it home and checked it out needs front tires, starter solenoid, ignition switch and a head gasket. (Sorry for the pics I don't know how to fix it)

Very nice! Series 1 or 2 engine?

Very nice find.

You beat me to that one...looks like a very early CCC machine, it has "International" on the dash (as per the Craigslist pics). The serial number tag entry does not look to be in the usual format. I wonder if there is red paint underneath the yellow?

Great find.

it looks to me like it has original paint I don't see any evidence of it being painted ever. It does say "international" on the dash I haven't done any research on the serial number yet. Since it's early it should have a series one engine

looks to have the original tires on it, i would tube the fronts. congrats on the new cub.:beerchug:

Thanks! I would tube them but the one that's flat has a split in it I can put my hand in so I want to get a set of ribs for it.

Since it's yellow, it can't be an IH. Especially not with the CCC logo on the front. On top of that, serial number is CCC. VERY early though. First month of the first year of CCC production. CCC serial numbers started at 700000. Nice shape and nice find.

Pretty sure the the KT Series II wasn't out yet when that machine was built, so unless the engine has been changed, it should be a Series I.

Cool find. Somebody took really good care of it. I've seen only a handful of Brownsville tags in my neck of the woods.

Good score on the 682!

Nice find on the 682!

Was that the one I put up from Glen Arm? If so glad you got it

Yes it is. I'm glad I got it too it's a very nice tractor.

Purdy!!!
I am sure it has a cast iron rear that prolly has red paint under the black.

It does have a cast iron rear but no red paint under the black there's no evidence of red paint anywhere on it (I was hoping there would be red somewhere) but it says "International" on the dash any yellow one I've seen just says "Cub Cadet" so maybe the dash has been replaced at some point but it doesn't look like it has been apart and there's nothing in the service records I have and there pretty detailed. I also checked the engine and it is a series 1

A pic of the dash

Not trying to de-rail, but I have a question about how these machines built around the time CCC was formed are badged. The 782 we repaired the rear and pump on for a friend last year has a CCC serial tag, yet the hood decals say International--yes it is the original hood. I don't remember what the dash says, but it had an alum. rear, again original to the machine. Is it safe to say that CCC used up whatever decals and dash panels IH had in stock? For what it's worth, the machine I am talking about came from an Ag dealer, could they order it with International on the decals?

All the red tractors made by CCC for IH still said international on the decals.

Awesome find. I'm thinking the dash is correct and original being only the 912 built by CCC. I would keep that one original as possible.

Adding to this:
The name International was removed from the dash once the ones labeled were used up. So was the IH emblem from the steering wheel cap.

That's what I thaught. Thanks guys

Very nice find!! For sure one of the first that CCC built.. I have never seen a Brownsville serial tag... Thanks for posting the pics... keep us posted on the progress!:beerchug::beerchug:

Found this when I took the engine covers off I guessing this contributed to the blown head gasket or it could have been that I was able to take most of the headbolts out with my fingers. I took the other side apart just to check and it was clean so I'm gonna put two new headgaskets on it
