I cannot speak for the other guys but I can state my opinion. My reasoning for picking the 2072 is simply based on that fact there are more of them around(however here lately I have looked at several 982s for sale) and the majority of the 2072s already have items most guys want to upgrade on the 982. I don't think that has any effect what so ever on price what affects price value is availability and demand. There are a very limited number of 982s and demand is high so the price will stay up. As far as not being able to buy one I don't think so at all I have passed over several 982s and there are several listed for sale on various sites right now. I agree with you maintenance is the key to any engine but again the Onan parts are harder to get and cost more. All this leads me back to my original post if you want a tractor based on collectors value and high cost buy a 982 if you want a solid working machine with lower cost buy a 2072. Option 3 is if your are like I am and like the red international look build a clone tractor with the best of both worlds. Actually I hope more guys buy the 982s and leave the 2072s for me LOL. By the way you have a very nice looking tractor!
thanks on nice tractor.i agree with you to some extent on what your saying .

Default New to me 2072
Well after all of the advice from all of from the fine folks on Only Cub Cadets I went out and bought me a new toy! Paid more than I wanted but I think with a little elbow grease and such it will be worth it.

The tractor has a 60" haban deck which is too big and heavy for me and my bad back but it is in really nice shape. Maybe soon I'll be posting it for sale here... No 3-point but I can acquire that with time. I missed one thing until after I got her home and that was the remote lift lever is frozen either in the linkage or at the hydraulic unit. The hour meter read 450.3 hours but I think that is low also. The good is the guy included for free a 48 or 54" blade with the cylinder for free!

Knowing everyone likes pictures... here they are!

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.
