No, the '82 series Cub Cadet's came out in 1978, 3 years before IH released the '88 series. Now, they do look very similar to the 88's I agree. But they ('82 series CC's) have the grille of an '86 series and rounded headlights to match. Remember that the closed hood design wasn't new to Cub Cadet (IH) as the Quietline machines had enclosed hoods. If IH had intended for the '82 series to look like the '88's I think that they would have had matching grilles.
Sorry..... I'm an IH nerd.
Cool project!! I like it as well. I do't like the slanted front on my cab either. I would like to redesign it too. I'll be watching.
