682 confusion - Page 2

Guys, did the IH built 682's also have Kohler twins? The reason I ask is because the 582's had a Briggs and Stratton twin, it seems odd that they would have gone with one supplier for the 582 and another for the 682. Also, Brian Miller's site seems to indicate that a 682 came with a 19.9 Onan. Does not sound right, does it? I think only the 982 had the Onan, right?

Weaverama: It's all in the price points... Those B&S engines were cheaper for IH/CCC to buy than the Kohlers. There is also the brand loyalty factor...some folks (believe it or not) would prefer the B&S. Only the 982 came with a 19.9 Onan.
682's came with a Kohler KT-17.

You gotta be careful with Brian Miller's website...while there is a lot of good info on there, there is also a lot of incorrect and misleading info on there.

For what its worth, and right now its at about 75 cents on the dollar, IMO they both seem like real good deals and the appropriate action should be taken! Good Luck.

Is this a CCC in IH clothing???

Is the 17hp Kohler, Series II stock?

Any help appreciated. Thanks.

Well it took me 7 months but I finally got back down to the eastern shore of MD and bought the 682. It came at very little cost.

Seems the PO put a brand new KT17 Series II in it about 4 years ago and then he had some electrical problems and it sat since last summer. The deck is toast and I am searching for a decent 50C. The tractor cleaned up real nice and I need to spend some time with it to figure out what the PO did to the wiring harness. Anyone know of a decent mower deck in or around Maryland let me know. Thanks.

Hmmmm...way I see it...$100.00, its a steal! You can throw a new engine in it if you had to some day. For all the good parts you get with that tractor, I think its worth $100.00 any day if it saves another tractor from rotting into the ground. I am surprised it lasted as long as it did, that no other passer by didn't scoop it up.

It was sitting in plain site of a neighborhood road. Oddly it was about 150 feet from a body of saltwater but has not suffered any serious rust; even the battery pan is intact. There is not a single wrinkle in any of the sheet metal, the engine "will run like a champ" according to the PO. I have not had time to mess with the wiring yet. I was thinking about flipping it but if I can find a decent deck it makes sense to let my boys use it to cut the neighbors' farm and keep the hours off my Green thing.

Again, I know that Aagitch is looking for a 50C, but if anyone near Maryland has one, let me know.
