info needed on a cub 582
 

Can anyone tell me some info on a cub cadet 582? I might go look at one and I want to know a little about it before I go to look at it.

Thanks,

It's a gear drive tractor with a Briggs 16 hp engine. I like them myself. I prefer a gear drive and the looks of a 82 series tractor. I don't really care for the Briggs engines but the rest of the tractor is bullet proof.

There was also a 582 special. Those would of had the peerless tranny in them. The specials are more desireable for the collector aspect, but if it were me, and I had to chose between the two and actually use it, I'd go for the regular 582. Peerless trannies aren't known for being the best. Never been around a 582 with a Briggs in it. Look at the normal wear and tear items, steering, clutch, leaks, etc. Good luck and keep us posted on what you find out. We also love pics! :beerchug:
