Picked this up today and now I am at an impasse!!
 

Picked up this 982 (I actually think its a yellow cadet painted red) today with a 3pt hitch, rear pto, 48" tiller, Haban 54" powerblade, 3pt plow, sweeper, and 50C deck... Serial is 2050604U724092 Model 144986100 think 1983...

My problem is I have a prinstine 1872....Can I take the PTO and 3pt off the "982" and direct fit to the 1872? I like the power steering of the 1872...Or would I be better off just getting a PS from a donor and putting it on the 982?

Looking for some guidance from the pro's out there...

The tiller is a beast....

I found it on CL this morning and can't believe I actual got it!

Here are some pics...taken with my phone so dont be too hard...

Also I had to remove the JD seat cover before I took them since I knew I wouldnt live that down!

Should work. Both have aluminum rearends

Yup, it should bolt right up if it has the aluminum rear.

Yep
Aluminum.....

Jackpot!!!!! great find. Those don't come up very often. Keep us posted.:beerchug:

According to the book i have it is a yellow/white 986. I didn't realize any of the yellow/white Cubs come with Onans in them.

IMHO , You got one heck of a score !!!

Not sure if i would try to put power steering on it , i would do the swap onto the 1872 .

Great find! :beerchug:

Awesome pick up on the 982!

Nice find on the 982!:beerchug:
