The 582 Special is still a capable machine. A friend of mine has one and he uses it to push snow and mounts an IH tiller on it for his garden. If i remember right , 1st is like a creeper gear. I guess it would have to be to run a tiller.
I wouldn't part it if it was mine and it is in good shape. If the rearend ever goes out , you could always swap in a CI rearend and clutch system from another Cub.
The tiller is not mounted to the rearend like a CI rearend Cub would be. It is like the other aluminum rearend Cubs , it has a plate bolted to the frame and the tiller mounts to the plate.
