Default Red 682 with M18

I found a guy selling a red 682. I haven't seen it in person yet but he claims its from 1981. the pictures look like the rear end is cast iron and painted red which without knowing the serial number might make that true? It does have a Kohler M18 and I thought these things came with a KT17. It also has hydro lift and hydraulic ports up from for a power angle plow that is included. Maybe you guys can help me out, I thought the 782's and up had hydraulic lift and can that pump handle a power angle plow up front as well? Was it added in after? It also comes with a 50" deck that was rebuilt. The guy said it needs a new electric PTO and the starter makes some kind of a noise just as the engine starts, like it may not be disengaging right. The hour meter shows around 500.

Just looking for anyones thoughts before i drive an hour or so. Also the metal looks perfet like it was just painted.

Sounds like a 782, but someone could have put the hydro lift on it.

Default Modified 82

Pete240: From what I understand, the only difference between a 782 and a 682 is the fact that the 782 had hydraulic lift. The red axles indicates IH manufacture (versus MTD/CCC), and you can verify by the serial number. I know that the aluminum rear went in and the wiring changed at S/N 719,999. The aluminum rear has a different number of bolts, I think, but it sounds like you know that.

It could have had dual ports on it, in which case, the model# would technically be 784, but the red tractors did not distinguish the dual hydraulics with a decal on the hood; apparently, the yellow and white ones did, at least on the invoice, I'm told.

The hydraulic lift, with dual ports, could have been added to a 682 later, the pump for the hydrostatic, though, would need to have been ported. So it would not have been easy to upgrade a 682 to a "784," but it can be done. If the fellow you're buying it from performed the modifications, he should be able to tell you all about it; if he didn't perform the modifications himself, or he is getting MUCH older and forgetful, he could simply be confused as to what he actually has.

As far as I know, the hydrostatic pump can handle the lift and the power-angle; that is why they were installed in the first place. I would like to hear from someone who has a power-angle or loader installed on their tractor.

Edit: Also, you're right, both the 682 and 782 came from the factory with the KT17 motor installed, first series I and then Series II: the M18 didn't come out until the 1810/1811 etc.

I guess im gonna have to take a look at her. Is the m18 a pressurized oil engine? I spend a lot of time mowing my hill, and i thought that was better to have than the splash system in my m12. Is the m18 a repowering option for these 682's?

The M-18 is a bolt in with just a change in the way the ignition is cut off.
yes full pressure with filter, & electronic ignition( no points)
The M-18 was last & the best of the kohler flathead line, and prolly would still be produced if it weren't for emission regs.

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.
