Default Cub Cadet 982

There's a 982 for sale near me that I'm very tempted to go snag. Pics below; looks in solid shape. Also comes with weights, 50in mower deck, and snow blower. Runs and drives. Guy's asking $1,600.

Don't know it if has the Class-0 3-pt and PTO though. Was that standard, or was that an option? If it was an option, can that be added later?

From my research, some other questions:

1. I understand the Onan engines are hard to repair due to the difficulty of finding parts. Are there any reliable sources for them, or how have current owners here done it?

2. I'd be interested in brush hogging with it if it has the PTO. So far the only brush hog I could research for it was the Woods M4-2 Billy Goat, which they stopped making decades ago...so practically unobtanium because of the 2000rpm requirement...are there any others?

3. Are non-engine parts and components mostly interchangeable among the red 482, 582, 682, 782 series?

4. If I have older Cub Cadet implements like a 1A tiller are there adapters to make them work with the 3-pt hitch? I suspect the belt drive and gear box running gear required probably won't mount in the presence of the PTO but then again I've little experience with these.

Thanks all!

Optional, and yes they can be added.

Haven't heard of the difficulty issue, but more so the price of Onan parts.

Some yes, and some no.

The IH built Tillers would NOT fit on any Cub Cadet Super.

Cool, thanks!

I'm betting if it doesn't have them then finding them aftermarket is basically predicated on finding another 982 that has them. If that's what I really want then that's probably what I should wait for, eh?

Was it a completely new implement line for the Supers that was incompatible with older stuff? Are mower decks and snow blowers still adaptable? Cause I see it uses the same mule drive.

The Supers, were basically a "CAT 0" implement Tractor. Since the frame is longer than a standard Garden Tractor, the mule drives were longer also. Some implements from the Garden Tractor type would transfer over, but mostly implements specifically for SGT should be sought out and used.

I am beginning to like the 82 series tractors. Were these the last "true" IH built models?

It was an IH design. They produced them until the sale to CCC/MTD in 1980. CCC continued the 82 series until 1984.

Were the CCC machines identical? Did CCC use the same model numbers? If so, how can one tell the difference? Thanks!

Yes, and Yes.

The Factory Code, and all IH serial numbers were <699,999.

So after many exchanges about when to meet up, finally got out to see the thing.

He'd spent $800 to have the front main seal and other gaskets and such replaced, fresh oil and filters, only to have the hydro relief valves leak on him.

Like, it was literally squirting Hy-tran up and out of the holes in the top of the relief valves. At an alarming rate.

This after he claimed to have had them go through the seals on the back end too. What in the hell did that dealership do to make that happen? I'm sure it's just a matter of replacing the valves, but what causes that? Over-filled the hydraulic system? The receipt he showed me confirms he paid for them to mess this thing up.

And the hydro linkages aren't adjusted correctly. Stomp on the brake in reverse and it'll keep going after you let your foot off the brake while in the neutral position.

Engine runs great though and everything else appears in order. 444 hours on the original Onan engine. His father in law bought it new in 1980. Model 450 snowblower and an original, if in very rough shape, IH snow cab.

Exclamation

Those relief valves are ticking time bombs. They go without warning, and spew Hytran out of them. Not a huge deal. They are easy to find, and easy to replace.

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.
