Re: 982 Project

It's coming along pretty good now. Found out the hydro pump gasket was leaking, so had to tear it back down quick before I got too far along. Better now than later I guess. Does anyone have a 982 wiring diagram? There's been some custom work done to this harness I'd like to fix right while it's off.

Re: PTO missing?

Yes, the belt always turns down to the mower. Engaging that pedal just slides the center pulley on the deck over to tighten a second belt, which starts to turn the deck spindles. Then of course you have that timed belt that attaches the 2 spindles. The decks are quite a bit of work to get working if...

Re: PTO missing?

Geezer, I actually don't even have a belt yet. I was going to get one at the parts store, but didn't remember the exact length and wasn't cutting grass anyway. That's as far as I got. The way it is now, there's no way to get the belt on without loosening the grill I believe. I squeezed everything ju...

Re: PTO missing?

The Original doesn't have a pto clutch up front. It only has a pulley on the motor and the pedal engages the deck. What you might have seen on here is a few of us discussing a RARE option offered later to convert the Original to a pto clutch. I put one on mine recently and just got done with that ac...

982 Project

Well, I've worked a little on this as I had time and it's coming along. It took a couple tries to figure out changing the carriers in the CI rear end and having to switch ring gears. Had it apart 3 different times until it was right :x . It's done now and hopefully never has to come back apart. Here...

Re: Muffler boxes.

That pto clutch looks like it spent some time outside. When I have one like that, I take it off, blast the pulley and part that you bolt down last (technical term), and repaint them. When I cut with the 782, the pulleys and belt get way too hot to touch, but never causes any problems. You never hear...

Re: Muffler boxes.

The Series II is all open in between the muffler and pto if I understand your question correctly. There's a guard under the pto pulley and one on top of the muffler, but that's it. I have a newer style M18 going into my 982 that has a different style muffler guard that surrounds the whole muffler to...

Wasn't the twin cylinder motor introduced in 1979 and that says 1980? Maybe I missed it? Oh well, can't say I'm really impressed with that new tractor either. I am obviously partial to the old ones though or I wouldn't be here.

Re: Berrymans for cleaning old gas gunk out of tank?

If it were me, I'd probably find another tank. Reason being, even if that carb cleaner broke the sludge loose, you'll spend $20 on it if we're thinking of the same stuff. And that's $20 spent IF it works, a sunk cost if it doesn't. Secondly with the baffles in the 12hp tanks, even once the sludge is...

I don't see a "post reply" or "new topic" in the decal section to post it to. That's why I thought it was closed. Is that where you want me to send it to you or through email? If I misunderstood what you meant by sending it to you, let me know. I'm sure it won't be my last decal I ever see to send.

Geezer, don't know if you have this. Came from a 73. This was just a few miles from where I live years ago when in business... YEARS AGO. Don't know if you have it. My great-grandpa's KB-5 actually came from here in the 40's.

Since Geezer's dealer decals have always been kind of a big thing, what if there was a separate place to post decal pictures for him instead of in "Shooting the Breeze" or somewhere? Maybe a separate unlocked thread area of the "Dealer Decals" topic? Just a thought.

Re: 982 info

Thanks Todd. I'm guessing the fine spline axles and carrier have an identical ratio to those in a cast iron rear and are NOT a part of the reduction for bigger tires? I'm really gonna know some new things by the time I'm done with this.

Re: NF PTO anti rattle springs ( check out the button LOL )

That's not correct. The rounded part is supposed to face out and the 2 ends go inside the pulley hub to take up space and keep it from rattling. And those are all technical terms :lol:
