The duals look great! I, finally!, got my garden in on Sunday. Had a few hot dry days, but the ground was still a little moister than I would have liked. I just didn't want to give up any more of my growing season. The 982 had a few slight issues that I corrected. First was the throttle cable slipped on the lever side, and I lost my Rpm's. Don't really like press fit clamps, but that's what's there. I crimped it a little tighter and twisted some safety wire on either side to keep it from moving in the future. My lift got very slow. I forgot that I only replaced one of the relief valves because it was leaking. I put the other new one I had in and it was working better. Still not lifting with authority, but better. The 982 and 1862 are due for oil changes, and the 70 needs an air filter. I was in the garage the other day, and just wanted to see if the battery kept it's charge on the 70, so I turned the key, pushed the button and the thing fired up instantly, with no smoke. I need a set of 6-12 ags for it and some ribs for the fronts, and I think it will look sweet in it's original condition. Then maybe a sleeve hitch for the rear and a set of cultivators to keep the garden looking good.....maybe

Sorry - no pics Father-in-law is in bad health, so I don't have the benefit of any extra time right now. While my wife and I were planting the garden on Saturday, we got an emergency call and had to drop everything, close up the shop, wipe off real quick and speed off to the home. It's been pretty trying.

The 442 tiller is a dream to use. So overbuilt, I think I'd have to use it everyday of the summer for 20 years to wear it out.

I added a front center roller to my cast end deck to keep from scalping my yard. It made a big difference. No more bald spots in my yard. I made the roller out of plastic and the mount is 3/16" steel.

Hey everyone I'm pretty new here but this site has giving me the want to restore my tractors so I stripped my original done. I thought it was going to be a easy restore but I have found a bunch of little problems so now the fun begins hope to have it done shortly so I can put some pictures up.

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.
