Any thoughts on trading my 582 for a 1282?
 

A friend of mine has a 1282 in very good original condition and he wants my yellow 582. I only have $100 in the 582 and my compression check showed it didn't have good compression, which is believeable ( it turns by hand a little to freely.) He wants $500 for the 1282 that is still in current use. We are talking about I give him $350 and my old 582, any thoughts on this? In reality the 582 needs a lot of work and is missing parts and will likely be on the back burner for quite some time, that is why I'm considering letting it go. I will get some pics of the 1282 next time I go for a visit, pics of 582 are in one of my other threads. Im aware that both machines are CCC built and I'm not picky about color. Just looking for your opinions.

Although I am not familiar with these Cubs and I may be wrong here, but I'd say a yellow 582 would be a bit uncommon and in my book a reason to keep it for restoration. Especially if it is an early build
What is the serial number?

Just my $0.02 worth

The 582 came with a 16HP B&S engine. Not a fan of B&S. The 1282 has a 12HP Kohler. IMO, I would prefer the 1282.

Finsy, the yellow and white ones are very common.

I Had a early one, #65 off the CCC line.

Most all the 82 series I have ever seen around here are red.

The serial# tag is missing on my 582, however it does have an IH hour meter on it and it says international on the dash. However like Roland I would prefer the Kohler in the 1282 over the B&S in the 582. I am curious though does anyone know if the hydros in the 1282s are ported to accept hydraulic lift?

no they're not
