"Any other suggestions?"

Convert it to a gear drive!!

:biggrin2:


Actually ramps are the key to getting the tractor over the deck.

Roll the deck back (after unhooking) to the rear wheels.

Put the longest ramp in possible.

Back up.

The Super will go right over. I keep a couple pieces of 1/4" x 8" x ? steel sheets just for this!!

Thanks for the advise CADPlans! - I think it might be easier to put power steering on a Cub Lo-boy 154. I almost bought one of these instead of the Super - but I wanted more room for my big feet, but I think I would have been happy with it.

I have been thinking though of buying a junk Cub 154 for the grill and hood and ditching my cracked and warped plastic on the 2082.

And for the record, I haven't been able to spin the wheels on the 2082 when it was in reverse, and it's only wearing old balding turf tires.

Nobody would do such a conversion to a grill and hood!!

Yes I understand what your saying and agree. Im just talking about the wheel spin and why you may not seem to have the power in reverse. But still haven had one go the same speed.


One other thing I thought of. Joe Allen bought one that wouldnt back up well, the rear end was broken. We all know how the alu rears are.

i just stand to the right side of my 982 & move the gear lever a little forward till it starts to go over the deck & put my foot on the front edge of the deck & it climbs right over no problem ,it works better in the grass, never had any issues :beerchug:

The speed is what is limited by the bump stop inside the tranny. The swash plate pivots on an axis in the center "like a teeter todder". On the reverse side of the pocket where the swash plate would pivot into, there is a bump stop. This prevents the swash plate from tilting as far as it would when tilting to other side for foreword motion..

Look at post #10 picture 3 and 4. Three is of the swash plate. On the right in 4, you can see were the swash plate goes. There are 2 "shiny" pads on the surface that it pivots to. Those are the bump stops. They are different heights for foreword and reverse.

Bad News,

I played with the Cub some this morning before going to Church. The hydro fluid is low, but it wasn't the last time I checked it - maybe three hours of operation ago. And as I was clearing some of the dust and grime off the rear end I heard something fall onto the floor that sounded different that the rest of the dust and dirt - it turned out to be a breather. I don't see a breather listed on the diagram on Parts Tree. I didn't look at my service manual yet, but I expect it to be the same. The breather is small, about 1 inch tall. I'll get a picture of it if I can.

I'll probably have to pull the fenders to get a good look at the top of the hydro and the rear end.

Later,
Ross
