Newbie Education 82 Series
 

What are the differences of the 982/984/986? Also differences of 782/784? Is there a brochure that explains/shows the differences? Thanks!!

Find a copy of this.
50 years of Cub Cadet
Takes you back to the beginning of the series when IH was still at the top of the heap and continues into the MTD/CCC era till 2011

982 - std
984 - above + rear pto + CAT 0 3 point - see my thread on this
986 - above + front hydraulics

CCC started using "ordering codes" early on that were stamped on the ID tag. The stickers/decals still said 982 for the most part.

Wow! Interesting way to differentiate options. Thanks!

I will put the 50 Years of CC on my Christmas Wish List.

784 had front hydraulic outlets and a lever to operate them separately along side of the deck/rear/front lift lever.
Its handy for a front blade and the ability to angle it. :beerchug:

These numbers only apply to CCC built machines. IH did't use this numbering system so there is no way to tell if an IH machine left the factory with what options.

Continuing research...anyone have a pdf TC-193 parts manual? I found pdfs of OM and SM.

Also, did the 982 have power steering standard or optional?

The 1912 was the next model, what was after the 1912? Was it the same chassis just different style?

Thanks!

I know get the CC 50 year book. Christmas is coming! :biggrin2:

In short....NO

The series after the 1912/1914 was the 2072.

Thank you. Just trying to get the models straight.

Now I am up to a 1572, 1772, 1872, and/or 2072! When will this madness end?!? :bash2:
