482
 

Picked up a 482 Cub Cadet .What was the original motor size? It has a 16hp Briggs twin in it now not sure if it was changed or wrong decals should be a 582 Special. Need to get the serial # off it when it stops raining.

The 482 rolled out of the Factory with a 11HP B&S engine.

Yes, the model/serial tag will positively ID the tractor.

It should be a 582 Special.

Serial has 482 in it some one changed the motor.Thinking about putting a KT17 in it with a hydro rear end make it a 782.

You really don't want a kt-17, it has a poor oiling system,and parts are NLA mostly, I'd go with a magnum-18
Same engine design only upgraded in multiple ways, it was the last and best of the flathead opposed twin series.

Unless you put a hydraulic lift on it, it would be a 682.

If you do that, and want to sell the 90deg gearbox, let me know.

I have a friend that I sold a 1100 that wants the rear and drive line .I have an extra 90 box that I am not using.I have a kt17 serries 2 out of a Deere I was planning on ringing it and putting in it with hyds.Pm me about the box.

IIRR a KT out of a deere has a different size crank on the PTO end.
Better measure it first, cub is 1-1/8" seems like Deere is 1"
but I forget somethings.

Some of the clutches you can take the bushing out and make them fit that is least of my problems.
