Default Goodbye 1650, HELLO 582 (with a creeper)

so today I traded my very first cub, a 1650, off for a 582 with a creeper. NOT A SPECIAL. Anyway it's in pretty decent shape cosmetically, but needs a little work on the engine. So far it appears that it needs a new Coile and clutch adjusted/replaced, carb rebuild and a few other odds and ends. Hopefully with a little help from my pal, Cubby102, it'll be a winter restoration project. Cubby102 that's your shout out brother. hopefully we can do this before march.

Does it need a coil because it's missing?
Does the carb need rebuilt because it is running rich, and gas "burbs" out of it when you run it with the air filter off?

It needs a coil because a mouse chewed threw the spark plug wire, and needs the carb rebuilt because said mouse built a nest in it using some of the rubber it chewed off the spark plug wire. So I figured instead of tearing it down and reassembling with old gaskets float and needle I'd do it the right way.

When we dug into it a little today all I can say is its definatly a barn find...has the farm fresh smell even plug wires are almost ate all the way through. Theres enough mouse poo just sitting on top of and inside the air breather (both sides of filter) and that poo is also inside the carb itself that im not even going to attempt to fire it until its cleaned (might as well replace the gaskets and seals while im in there) looking down the air channel between the breather and engine shroud I can easily tell its a small mouse apartment building so with all that being said the engine is coming out of the frame and its obviously been sitting quite some time it warwnts at minimum a good scrub down so we are gonna give it giving it the benifit of the doubt the carb is no good in its current state . Judging by the rest of the machine it hasn't seen any care in quite some time.
Sorry bout the book im tired and ready for bed so im start in to ramble on.
If there are spelling mistakes blame it on the auto correct on my phone I have fat fingers lol .

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.
