982
I am going to look at a 982 this weekend. The guy wants $1000. for it. It has new tires, and carb, 540 hours on the meter, 50" deck, rear PTO and does 't look too bad. Are these all IH made? I have no experience with the Onan engines and am looking for some advice. Are these Onan engines as good as the Kohlers? I also don't know what a fair price is for these tractors. Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated. I posted a pic of it
Thanks, Earl

If it looks that good and he only wants a $1000 for it, I would jump all over it.
That particular 982 is IH built. Anything built after 1981 is CCC built. With the very early CCC models still using a lot of the left over CI items from IH, then Aluminum rear ends were used. The Onan's are good engines but from what others say, they can be expensive to rebuild, but, there are other motors out there that you can transplant into the 982 if needed. I hope you are able to get it.

I'd still buy it for $1000, but FYI, I can't see a 3-point hitch on the back in the picture you posted, so that means no rear PTO, either. Also, unless the tires have been changed since the pictures were taken, those are the original 30-year-old tires.

The rear PTO/3 point, if it has it, is worth about that much alone. The Onan's are very expensive to repair/rebuild when you compare them to the Kohlers and the earlier ones have weak connecting rods. I think a complete rebuild kit is about $1100 for the B48G original engine. That one looks like it doesn't have the rear PTO on the tractor. In my area that would still be a good buy looking at the condition. There is no way of knowing how many hours are on this model because it uses the maintenance minder hour meter. Good luck!

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
