Roland, do you have a schematic for a 2182? What powers the solenoid?

What's the general opinion on the 21 HP 3 cylinder gas Kubota vs. a 20 or 22 HP Kohler Command?

I would take a water cooled Kubota over any air cooled Kohler. Their engines run very smooth and will probably last 2 times longer. I don't know why but their parts are cheaper too. A complete new OEM carb for this engine is $107. I don't know for sure but this engine may like to suck gas a little more then others. I will find that out if I ever get mine together.

Lasting 2 times longer isn't a big issue for me, I don't put a lot of hours on any of the tractors, and a well maintained Kohler lasting 1500 hours is enough for me. A smooth, quiet, powerful engine would be of interest though. I'll just have to hear one run at some point, I've never been around one.

Got a couple things done on the 2182 today. Removed the muffler and the shielding around it, cleaned it up and gave it a quick paint job with some VHT header paint. I was pleasantly surprised that all of the bolts came out without breaking off. Guess the Power Blaster stuff works. The header paint is only a temporary measure, plan to have it ceramic coated at some point in the future. Just waiting for parts now to finish it up. With a little luck I’ll get to try it out next week. Then I plan on getting into the 2284 and give it a good going over before I put it up for sale.

PB Blaster is great stuff, I've had really good luck with it as long as I give it time to work.

Please take a video when you get it running, I'd really like to hear the engine run.

It's very quiet. Sounds awesome with the muffler off it. Just had to check that while I had the muffler off

No wonder it sounds quiet now, you put your ear up to it with the muffler off first!

I think my next Cub will be a diesel, but I'm interested in that engine, if it was noticably quieter than the Kohler air cooled engines it might be worth a look.

It looks from the pics like there aren't front hydraulic outlets on the 2182. My 2084 didn't have them either, I had to add them. It surprises me that they didn't make them standard on the supers.

The diesels are also quite a bit quieter than the air-cooled gas engines, but I'd say hearing protection is still a good idea.

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.
