x82 series gas caps
 

I'm having a heck of a time getting a replacement gas cap with guage for a restoration. Need the x82 series cap just like the original. I bought one on Ebay from a seller named rock_digger that showed a pic of one just like the original ones and 10-5/8" long just like the original instead of the newer 9" ones that don't reach the bottom. Got the cap and it was NOTHING like described. Didn't look like a Cub Cadet one like the picture and nowhere close to 10-5/8". I sent it back. Round 2 I bought form Randysenginewarehouse. They sell 9" ones identical to Cub Cadet caps except length. I got one there before and really liked them. Just got it Saturday and it too isn't the same design as the one in the pic. Not even close. They said its just a manufacturer change on the caps. If that's true (aside from the obvious "why are they selling items nothing like they picture and describe" knowing they are different),

does anyone on here know where I can get the original style caps that say "GAS" on them and have the guage? Are they really going out of stock for a different design? I'd like one correct for my restoration even if its a few bucks more. Anyone bought one anywhere lately that's correct. Even if its the 9" one I can live with that as long as it looks right. Mine splashes gas out at me and on my paint and I'm already 2 weeks hassled to get the right one so I'm coming to you guys for advice on where to buy. I obviously can't keep paying for return shipping until someone actually sends me the item I buy.

Last one I got was from the dealer. it wasn't cheap but its an exact match.

You can also try this guy He's real close to where I live and from what I understand his are an exact match. You could call him and check first. I was gonna grab one from him next time I go up, but I haven't been there in a while.

That's what I need. It will still be 1.5" short if its 10-5/8" overall but I'm okay with that and its priced right. Was the dealer one actually as long as the factory one and reach the bottom of the tank? I'm yet to see a replacement that is and might just get the right one.

Yep The dealer one was exactly the same.

How long is the ones on the QL series because I need one also

5" I believe. I'm going to get one of those soon too. You might consider calling wherever you buy it first to make sure it looks the same.

Quick tid-bit of info for anyone interested. I was at TSC today picking stuff up and they had gas caps correct for both the x82 series (6.99) and Quietlines with small gas filler hole (3.99). These don't have gauges but the new gauges aren't long enough to read right anyway judging by the one on my 982 I got a few years ago and for the $40.00 I saved I have 2 nice gas caps and may still pick one up at another time with guage someday if I really want one later on.
Looks like a nice cap and a cheap alternative for anyone needing one quick with gas splashing out at them like I had. Just thought I'd give a heads up.

I have caps avail for both the quietline and the 782 series.

type cap in the search bar on my site.
