All their SCUT's did after the '88s..... but they sold CC before the 88's came out. They look just like the 88 series and the grille tops it off. As easy as it pulls that disk, I'm wondering how much bigger you could go and it still pull it. I'm betting you can get out to at least 4', maybe 5'. That would be cool!

Seriously, very nice work!
Thank you J-Mech I appreciate the kind words. Yes I agree with you and often wonder if the cubs would've came from factory with the 88 series grilles instead of the grilles they have now. My favorite IH series are the 88's and the 982 looks for the most part like a mini 88 so I thought I'd take it a step further and make it into a scaled down 5488.

The disk does pull generally easy for the most part. I do have the rear gangs set out to be 54" wide and it does great. My good friend built my crumbler, I had him build it 6 foot wide that way when turning around on end rows the crumbler is wide enough to take out tire tracks like the big farm crumblers do. The best thing is I don't need to set weight on disk anymore because the weight of crumbler pulls the disk down into ground and it penetrates the same as if I had the 75 lbs sandbag on it like I did last year before I had crumbler. I did put 16 new blades on my Brinly disk when I went thru and painted it. The factory blades from Brinly are 11" and I put new 12" blades on it from Agri Supply.

I have been considering going to those 12" blades from Agri-Supply. Now that I know they will fit, I believe I will. I'm hoping the dish is a little different on them. The original Brinly blades have too deep of a dish and you cannot angle the gangs enough to make them work right without making the gang angle silly steep.

Do the A/S ones work better?

Yes I really like the Agri Supply disk blades better. The offset is different from the originals Brinly has. With the Agri Supply blades you don't have to angle the gangs near as much as the originals.

That's serious work! That front grille is simply amazing. We never know what CC had in mind for the 82 series, but I'm sure if they look close to what you did they sold them like cup cakes!

"Bravo"

Thank you, I agree with you that the 88 series style grille gives these 82 series cubs a whole different look than what they have now. It would've been very interesting to see what they would've came up with.

I will ask my buddy who helped make it, he has tossed the idea around to build them if people wanted to buy them. I will see if he has a general price in mind and let you know.

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.
