Howdy all! New to the site.

Just picked up a 1981 IH 982. It has front hydro, turning brakes, 3-point, and rear PTO for $135. Some fellow dropped it off at a repair house and never picked it up. The owner of the shop only wanted what he had in it. Hurray for me!!

I actually drove it up on the trailer! Got it home, replaced the fuel pump and cleaned the carb (didn't have a carb kit, so just blew it out). After priming the carb, she fired right up. It surges a bit now and I have to pull the choke out to get it to idle right, but it runs and everything on it works!

I'm not real familiar with the Onan/Walbro combo, any thoughts on getting the idle to smooth out? I did look at a carb kit and suffered sticker shock! Any thoughts on the Nikki carb replacement? Will the 146-0414 Nikki carb work? I haven't seen much yet on cross reference parts.

Thanks in advance for your help!

That was a major steal.

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.
