CCC started building x82's in 1982. They came in both red(sold at IH dealers) and yellow and white(sold at CCC dealers). You are right about the aluminum rear end and the series 2 is stock for that tractor. They changed to the series 2 somewhere around serial number 726,000 and the aluminum rear started at serial number 720000. So it probably is a true red one, just not built by IH.
