Another pic of the 782 with duals

Thanks guys!! The red rims are just the duals on the 782. Ive seen the IH 5288's with red dual rims and that was look I was going for. It has 2 inch steel dual wheel spacers that space tires apart.

I got my red cubs out and got a pic of them in front of my sweetcorn field. My 1980 582, 1980 782 & 1984 982. All are restored but I still have to prime and paint mule drive and deck for 582 since I will mow with that one. The 782 in the pic does have the duals on.

I'm loyal to International Harvester cause that's all we farmed with and was raised on red equipment and I like IH cub cadets.

Thanks LFR, I had the quote "Nothing runs like a deere except a bada$$ International" put on the back of my 982

Thank you dag1450!

Thanks ptwannahave! These 2 tractors are my "babies" so to speak.

I thought I would share some pics of my IH Cub Cadet 782 & CCC 982. These are my 2 favorite tractors out of the 5 cubs I have. I love the 82 series.

I vote Red! I like the way the 82 series looks with side panels all red with black decals. Plenty of power & a newer machine with all the older joys like manual tranny & manual lift. Id like to have a 582 to go with my 782 & 982.

Thank you, kbrothers

I got my 124 put back together a couple days ago, finished priming & painting it all. The tractor has a complete tuneup with new fluids and it purrrs like a kitten. The 124 has hydraulics that work great. I also got my model 1 tiller primed, painted & put back together. It is mounted back on 124 & r...

I picked up this cub 124 a couple days ago. It is a 1 owner tractor that sat in barn unused for past year and half. The tractor is all original and all there. It needs a battery and carb cleaned or rebuilt. The previous owner installed hydraulics to raise and lower implements instead of manual lift....

I really like my 982 also. Power steering would be nice until there is a leak and for that reason mine is just fine. My 982 actually steers really easy also. I do use my steering brakes quite a bit for turning in around in worked ground. Just an all around good tractor.

An 1872 is an awfully good tractor to have. Does your 1872 have power steering? I really wish my 982 had power steering but it steers really easy for not having it. The onan engine is a good workhorse and mine runs good. I got a set of new brake pads and put them on the 982 and adjusted the brakes a...

I take it that you like the 982 probably as much as I do. Its a heck of a garden tractor. I got big plans for it. New paint & decals, wheel weights, front weight bracket & weights & 3 point hitch.

I thought I would share some pics of my 782 that I use for tillage work, primarily moldboard plowing. I bought this 982 and it runs good but needs a paint job cause previous owner replaced fenders with ones off cub 2072. I put new ag tires on it and gave it complete tune up. I use it mainly to disc ...

I thought I would give an updated picture of my current tractors now. I sold my cub cadet 129 yesterday and I traded my cub cadet 1200 for a nice, good looking John Deere 300. The 300 is a 1977 model and everything works and it operates good. It came with a 48 inch deck (not pictured). It needs a se...

Im just a hop, skip & a jump away, lol!! I like the 882 and the 582. I would like a diesel but seems I find somerhing else before I find a diesel. I like the 82 series the best but you cant beat any of the cubs in my opinion. I hope you can get a hold of that 2072 cause they are really nice machines...

Hello Doug, welcome to the forum. I live next door to you in central Indiana. Looking forward to seeing more pics. You have a good looking group of cub cadets.

Thank for all the warm welcomes. This site is very informative with great info. I put some pics in different area on this site(shooting the breeze forum). Glad to hear from other cub cadet collectors and cadet fans.

I was curious if anyone has seen or made a rolling basket to pull behind a disc. I thought it would look pretty cool and make an awesome seed bed. I may be dreaming but that would be pretty cool. I might look into making something along those lines since I till a lot of ground for planting. Any thou...

Here is a pic of my 782 with 12 inch moldboard plow and my good friends 1811 with 10 inch brinly moldboard plow. We plowed around 4 to 5 acres this past fall. Dont mind green and yellow paint on 12 inch plow, thats how previous owner had it painted.

I got a little spring fever today. I put my field cultivator on my 782 and detailed all my tractors. Cant wait till spring since I havnt got much snow as of yet. I guess it needs to snow or hurry up and get to march and april, lol!

I love to share pics with other members of forum. Thank you for the compliments. I got my field cultivator pics up in shooting the breeze forum. Here is my 1974 cub cadet 149 with snow blade.
Tractor needs paint job and decals but is a great workhorse.

Here is another pic of it on my 782.

I got my field cultivator ready today. I found this Gilson cultivator at my uncles, it was sitting in weeds behind his garage. I took it and completely tore it apart and rebuilt it. I used it last year and it worked great, especially with field cultivator sweeps on. I put a drag or harrow behind it ...

Thank you, its addictive . Once you start its hard to stop collecting.

Here is my 1979 cub cadet 1200. I traded my bolens 1054 with blade for this tractor. This tractor only has 459 hours on it. Long story short, the guy I traded his dad bought this tractor new in 1979 & used it to mow with until it started running rough. Instead of fixing it he parked it in barn for y...

Thanks Paul for the invitation. I will try to make it and we can talk cubs. My 129 is undergoing surgery(im fixing it) so to speak. I have a 982 that I need to get painted cause it has rear fenders off of 1872 so they are yellow, previous owner did this. I will try to get pics of my gilson field cul...
