Project 982
 

Well, here's the next one I drug out of the old chicken barn. A 1984 CCC built 984(982). A 984 has the rear lift and PTO but not the front ports.

This one is in pretty good shape with a little over 1000 hours on the meter......but the Onan is locked up.:angry:

I pulled the motor and broke out the pressure washer. She cleaned up pretty good and the original paint should buff out nice...I hope.

Wheeled her into the shop to pull the rear and do all the normal stuff. Here is a shot of the rear pto.

The rear looked good and the Hytran did its job. Just a little bit of gel on the bottom. This one will get Hytran put back in it.

Check this out. The brake hub is cracked and the aluminum caliper mount is broke in half. I'm pulling the axles to replace the seals and drill the drain holes so I will see if I can weld the hub.

Sucks about the brakes, but that is a nice looking tractor.

I wonder what caused the crack in the brake disk and the caliper mount ?

me too
 

That's some pretty impressive damage, considering the rest of the tractor looks so nice.

You probably need to change or check those frame bolts too, That took a pretty nasty lick to break that hub like that.

Cool tractor! Should be a good project. Weird about the hub and braket.

Broken brake caliper? Suppose someone wrapped a chain around it/axle tube and towed it? How about the axle tube, any sign of damage like something big ran into the wheel? Don't now if they are the same but I saw a caliper for a 782/1811 on ebay a couple days ago for $10. after I spent 30 minutes getting a broken bolt out of one.

Just a thought, do you have a dial indicator you can put on the face of the axle where the bolts are to see if it is bent? Dad had a Cub brought to him once that jumped out the back of a trailer going down the highway. This was a early 70's machine, no aluminum, it bent the axles. We swapped rears with another machine brought in the week before with a blown engine.

Nice tractor. What engine are you putting in it?

Very Nice Oak!! Keep us posted!

I'd like to have a 982 in my collection if you ever happen to run across one down this way.. Seems our northern friends keep them all hoarded up! :beerchug:

Good start there Todd:beerchug:
I like your way of cleaning the bottom, just flip er' over on the side...
