First post...my 2172 with narrow frame grille shell.

I got a great deal on a good mechanically 2182 but it had the usual broken plastic parts. I had a few odd grills laying around, a 122 style, a 125 style and a 129 style grilles. The 122 and 125 grilles would work with little modification and clear the PTO, the 129 was a couple inches higher if I remember and would need more modification to fit.
I just made a couple of brackets to fit the frame, modified the coil mount a little to clear, and bent a hood to fit it.
Been using it since last Fall this way, I'll probably get it stripped & painted later this Fall or Winter depending on priorities.
I have since come up with an 1811 with the hood and grille & sidepieces missing. Already mocked up the 122 grille on it.

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.
