I personally have seen 3 or 4 crack here. Frame flexes too much, and it's a weak spot. I've not seen any other SGT crack here, just the 982. Not sure if something was changed, or having the power steering bolted on helps stiffen it up. Just know I've seen it, and it's something to watch for.

You won't find a service bullion on it anymore than you will find a SB on the need for rear end braces. It's just something that has been discovered, like the frame flex that breaks the hydro front casting, thus the need for rear end braces.
Oh lovely!, Now I have something else to see if its broken.
Whats that old saying about ignorance is bliss?

I don't think so. Seems to be a local issue.

My 982 has power steering that was on it when I purchased it. I know it was a replacement yeller cylinder on me little red machine. Guess I figured it to be stock, but just replaced. Its fun to learn all of the time and I hope I learn new things all the time. Seems like education's purpose is to replace an empty mind with an open one!! Thanks for posting about this......I learned something from it.

If you want just a mower, then your choice should be based on what you want you are mowing. If you want to mow fast and have obstacles, like trees, shrubs, neighbor's doggies and kitties, then a zero turn should be tops on the list. If you have some lotsa flat land, then a 982 perhaps with an offset trail mower in tow would be really nice. The 982 could also be used for garden work and snow removal!! Weigh your options and make the option right for you!

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.
