Only Cub Cadets - 1980 IH 582 update

Well fellas I got the drive-shaft spring pin in finally after a few attempts I decided to take it to work and use our press I got the engine shrouds on my Briggs 16 hp opposed twin cleaned and painted took some extra time to clean the engine fins and reinstalled the drive-shaft and engine I've replaced every single grease fitting and cotter pin while putting the motor in I found that 2 engine bolt threads are stripped so tomorrow it's a run to Fastenal to get grade 8 nuts and bolts for a replacement I have to sand blast the seat mount the under neath of the 44 inch deck and the snow plow to send to the powder coat shop next week the hopefully the following week I can get her out of her slumber and back in the yard it's been a lot of fun doing this if all goes well I'm planning on redoing my 1806 next here's a picture of the 582 as of this evening
