Didn't know it wasn't an option for 982's. The parts book I have is an IH version, it has most/all decks in it. I guess it was published after Cadet was spunoff but prior to the Tenneco buyout. Still doesn't make sense it was even listed, I thought once Cadet was sold, all the IH dealers had to become Cadet dealers if they wanted to continue selling Cadets and parts.
The serial tag looks basically the same style (size and logo) as the one on my 2072. The model numbers are certainly different. On the 982 it is a model 60C, followed by the number 194 374100.
On the 2072 it is a model 374190 followed by 60C.
I guess the 60C on my 2072 deck was maintained as an internal reference to the earlier design.
I know Haban built the 60 inch decks, but unless they sold them to another manufacturer such as Deere, Toro, Jacobsen etc., I would cosider them proprietary to CCC? At least that is how it is where I work, even if we are hired to do the design work.
Is there a known serial number list for decks (and other attachments as well). Also, does anyone have an idea how many years the 60" deck was built before front gauge wheels became standard (I'm assuming they were not considered an attachment).
