just got my first cub
 

thought id introduce myself. my name is martin and ive been a member here for over 2 years. was interested in your forum back in march 2011, looking at buying a cub back then but never happened. i am big into the wheel horses and am a regular over on red square. just recently came across a 682 and became an owner through a labor deal on getting a k241 on a lincoln welder running. the 82 series have always caught my eye, but i guess being an owner just never happened until now. this tractor has set for years in a field and was a gamble whether it would even run. most of the gt's and stationary or pulled engines that were in the same place were not running, pulled from a scrap yard, etc. so something most probably had to be wrong with it, just was hoping nothing major. anyway will start a thread on the tractor and my effort to get it running (runs and drives awesome, by the way) and for not much cash outlay, but a whole week and a half of nights after work and a full weekend....
i have a few questions on the tractor but just wanted to get a quick intro out the way first!!

just wondering where i should concentrate my posting on the forum? should i post in the ih built cub cadet or ccc/mtd cub cadet section? from what ive read this is not an ih built 682 but a ccc built one. it has the cast iron rear though. from the serial it a very early one after they took over....
