Some would argue you have one of the best Cadets made. It had a "twin"--model 1811--only difference was that one had hydraulic lift. Cadet had it right with these two, well matched power to machine and deck size. Yours basically is a replacement of the earlier 682--great machine cursed with "flawed" engine design in its early days (not going into that debate).
Post some pics when you can--we love them! As with any 35 year old machine, it probably needs some work. We'll be happy to point you to known areas that just don't seem to last over 20-30 years before rebuilding is needed. Myself I like to get them cranked up and moving before I start throwing parts and work at one.
