Default what tractor do I have and what shoud I do with it?

Needing some help. I got a cub in a trade deal. its red and says 982 but when I tore into it to do the engine swap, i noticed it has yellow paint underneath the red. from what I have read it's a yellow and white 982 but the tag says Cleveland Ohio. did they make cubs in Cleveland? I was going to fix it up and make it nice... so do I put it back to yellow and white? Also the hood decal says International on it. Is this just something that someone pieced together? thanks

It's a 982 that someone has re-powered with a Kohler. It came with an ONAN. I'd leave it red but that's up to you.

Thumbs up

I third the red.

Kudos on the Kohler Command V twin swap. It will make for an overall nicer unit, as most Onan parts are getting harder to find and pricey. The Onans do sound nice, but they are finicky.

That is a 1983 982 originally yellow/white.

143-982-100

With the tag reading 143 that tells us it was built in 1983. It looks like the tag ends in 722341 so that would be near the end of the 1983 run.

982 is the model number of non optioned (from the factory) machine. (No rear lift, rear pto, turning brakes or front ports) You have turning brakes so they could have been dealer added. This can be argued because in the early stages of CCC they were still trying to figure out model and tag numbers. The original engine as Sam said should be an Onan B48G.

100 tells us it came from the factory in yellow and white.

I vote to go original and paint it yellow and white. I would also pull that Command and drop a B48G in it..........Ya, I'm a little different.

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.
