Cub Cadet Collectors dot com

Ditching the 16 hp Briggs in a 582. Would like to find an 18 magnum like I put in my 682. Short term I'm looking at a 1440, is this engine compatible with the 82 series? I have zero knowledge of mtd line of cadets, but thought that series was nearly an 82 series

Of the 3 options I'd say the 126 as well. If it's a handlift you'll definitely need a spring assist. Not bad with that, I had a no 2 tiller on a 127 once with spring assist and it was great. I have a 782 that's a dedicated tiller tractor and I'd never go back to anything else, it's such a pleasure t...

Lew and Kevin, thanks for the helpful pictures and information. I can confirm that a PTO, linkage and PTO arm from a 123 does work on the original. Will be on the lookout for some lights for it now

I bought it from the original owners nephew. My dad and I bough a 682 and 582 from him, I took the 582 he took the 682. While there I drooled over the original. A week later he called and asked if I was interested. I said it's sold. It's at a good home. Said if he ever missed it he could see it anyt...

Here's the mower deck and another unrelated question- is this some early style battery hold down or not?

The one in question that has the pto pulley has the lever, the tractor was #69 off the line. I put the pto arm and linkage on and it seems ok. Have to put PTO clutch in yet. I also believe this tractor had lights at one point based on the holes on both sides of the grille housing and hole in the das...

Great thanks lew, I ordered a bunch to have on hand

Great thanks dale, will tear into that asap. On another note one O has a front pto, other doesn't. The one that does has the clutch pulley but no clutch, pto arm or linkage, it has the brackets for the arm and the lever on the tower. I'll find out soon enough but will the arm and linkage work off a ...

Been getting one O ready for the mower deck, I cannot disengage the clutch shaft and also have brakes, looking like I need to tear into the rear since the brakes are too far out of adjustment? I'm getting the other one set up for plow duties and other sleeve hitch implements, all minor issues have b...

That is a nice pair of O's Rick. Looks like they are already earning their keep, didja get a mower deck? Thanks! And yes, one did come with a mower deck in good shape missing a blade though. Have all the original manuals for it. It will be addressed after I get done my 582. *Also- I removed that ru...

Thanks! I'd like to put up a bigger garage but I don't plan on living here forever, bummed I got to leave my truck outside now,

Good deal. Looks like your garage is filling up. :lol: It sure is a sickness...I have an email into a guy about a 1200.....why I have no idea :roll: I hope he doesn't accept my offer....lol I agree it's a sickness but admitting there's a problem is the first step they say Great looking "O". And a 3...

Been looking for the right Orginal for years now, got my first one last Saturday evening. Got my second one this morning. Sleeve hitch, creeper, 3 digit, 2 owner same family. I used it to sweep grass, it's sweet.

Nice cubs

That would be ideal but to get the good deals I figure running around is the way it's got to be. The end justifies the means I guess. It gives me some time in the cub hauler to go to cool places with my daughter too

Yeah, 582,682,782 and a troublesome 982

Nice tractor. Is that a 126 with a 169 air filter? Tough looking cub cadet, like the double stack cub weights. Yeah I drain all the fuel out of mine before putting them to bed too. Nice yours is up and running

Got the original lastnight 1 1/2 north got the 128 1 1/2 hr south this am and got the 582 about 1 hr 15 mins north this afternoon. 582 makes my 82 series collection up to 4. 128 needs love but got for a smoking deal. I'll have my weekends booked solid for forseeable future

Thanks I'm pleased with it, it will get buttoned up in the coming weeks

Holy smokes that rake is awesome!

Finally got my first Original. I've got a lot of cub cadets all IH and never found the right O. My daughter and I got this one tonight with fenders and great seat and owners manuals, plus it runs. Has deck as well. Going to pick two more cub cadets up tmrw I'll share them later tomorrow night. This ...

Yeah 10.50s will even work fine, I've got a few of that series with loaded 23x10.50 lugs that work and fit great. That beer holder needs to be modified though, will shake them up too bad

Don and Tom thanks for the kind comments. I haven't got the deck hooked up yet but did bring it to my dads house he was pleased to say the least. I gave him a mint mule drive and carrier I had I'm hoping in the next few weeks I'll get that going im excited to see it mow

Thanks for reply, yes it does have a condenser and it's new! Went to fire it up the other day and starter stopped. Long story short have to pull the starter now..... Murphy's law with this 982

Well got it going, ran into around the yard it operates flawlessly. I have to get the mule drive and deck and run it under load still. It ended up being the spring was out of whack. I found one I had saved from a blown engine and installed it, adjusted at wot. Fired it up and went through the rpm ra...

Mark, I don't know for sure it is a series I. The guy my dad bought it from said it was his parents were original owners of it. I'll check for the oil filter provision. I honestly assumed it was a I mainly due to the fact every series I I've dealt with had an oil plug and not a cap. I'm not ready to...

Thanks for reply Todd. I checked compression 150 psi both sides. I did have a stuck valve I fixed back in the fall i guess due to not having the engine tin on when the previous owner worked on the starter. I have resurfaced the heads and put new gaskets. Installed new ignition coil. Yes the carb is ...

Just installed one of the new manufactured nikki carb replacement. My original was running rich and decided to give this a shot. Seems to run better but still spitting and coughing fuel. I've adjusted the float, could it be the main jet?

yup, I like to keep them in their work clothes when possible and shine them up as much as possible through a wet sanding/ buffing. Definitely have to take that one down. I have way more than I care to mention in restoring my daughters 126. Nice job so far

I really dig those firestone tri ribs on a narrow frame. I have them on my 782 tiller tractor and love them. Like that demonstrator look of your tractor

Old gear off, new gear on. Installed and works great! I sure hated tearing apart another lift but didn't care to pay over $100 for just the gear. Very pleased with this 126. Now if only the governor on my dads 782 would work all would be well in cub land
