Yes. The sensor came with it. No wires though. Have to wire it to a hot wire, ground and to the sensor.

Hope you have enough room to fit a set of 2" gauges in the tower. I made that mistake on my first 2182 and had to fab up a panel to replace the area where the idiot lights go. It was a major PITA. That's why I now use 1-1/2" gauges. The 1-1/2" gauges fit nice just above the boot for the tilt steering. I've sent you pics on how I did it. Here is a pic of my first 2182 with electric gauges. For whatever it's worth I used marine gauges and senders that I got from Summit Racing. The black panel was made from a piece of 1/4" Lexan painted black on the back side.

I wondered why that picture looked different. These will just fit under the lip of metal on the backside. I had a hard time finding them with electric sensors but really wanted 1-1/2". I have the one gauge in but the other two are coming from a different vendor so I'm going to wait until they come in to drill those holes.

I forgot that I did run a 1/8" NPT pipe tap through the thermostat housing first. The new sensor was going in a little hard and it looked like the old sensor had threads that were a little shallow. The tap took off just a hair. I could twist it in by hand except for about the last 2 turns I put a handle on it. Then the new sensor went in fine. I have no idea what kind of threads would have the same per inch as 1/8" npt but be shallow, but oh well. It tightened up just fine.

Dammit....I keep forgetting to turn my phone sideways when taking pictures otherwise they don't posts right on here...my bad. (fixed it, you owe me, Sam Mac)

TJ: I just started to have an issue with TEMP Light come on my 2182. Glad, for internet; I found your post. Gauge you used not available, brass fittings to adapt gauge to therm. housing are. Not looking forward to this task, since, I'm on the road so much now. May have to find a local lawn mech. to do it. Now I''m two mowers down and out, at least near end of season.

Great pics as I read thread today on your 2016 renovation project that were linked to this thread.

Why not use the gauge and sending unit from a 782D or similar? The sending unit fits in the pipe plugged hole in the cylinder head and the dash gauge is of standard diameter, 2 1/8" Both are readily available although pricey and very accurate, or at least mine are. No need to reinvent the wheel here.

I see the one I used isn't available anymore, but at least with my engine, any 2" gauge with 1/8" npt pipe threads will work and thread right into the thermostat housing. No need to buy the brass fittings. But I will say some people with the same model said they had to drill and tap the housing to thread it. I'm not sure why theirs didn't work and mine did.

If you are having issues with overheating, first pull out the screen in front of the radiator and see if it's clogged. If mine would get the least little bit clogged the temp would rise quickly.

93 degrees here today. Humid as a Sum Beach!! After an hour of mowing with 2182/Haban 60 inch deck. Cutting off 2-4 inches of weed/grass lawn.

I'll have to stop 2-3 times to let it cool a bit and vacuum out the radiator screen before the lawn is done. Takes for ever in this type of weather .

I remember running my 1782 in that NY grass and had to clean that screen about the same amount of times in a few hour period.

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.
