New Cub Owner (Now with pictures)
 

Hey all,

Just inherited a IH Cub Cadet 682 from my father-in-law. Also included were the mowing deck (3 blade), IH snow plow blade (with chains), and roto-tiller.

Looks decent and runs, but its pushing oil out somewhere on the top of the engine.

This site is great. I already pulled a copies of the owners manual and engine manual so I can get it running as best as possible.

I guess one of my biggest challenges is going to be finding a good parts supplier. I'm the kind of guy that prefers to buy in person, that way I can compare parts and chat with the seller to get tips and insight. So, if anybody knows of a good parts place near Front Royal, Virginia, please let me know. In case you don't know where Front Royal, its near the north end of the Shenandoah Valley, about 30 miles south of Winchester and about 75 miles west of Wash. DC.

:Welcome2:

:Welcome2: Glad to have you!

:Welcome2:

:WWP:

I'm sure someone will chime in and help you find a good dealer in your area.

If you can't find a good parts supplier near you, I can highly recommend any of our sponsors located at the top of the page. They can be emailed or called. What they list on their sites is not everything they have.

Here's the pictures
 

OK, here's some quick pictures:

whats the oil level in the tractor? some times the fuel pump will stick open fludding the crank case with gas . Then when you start it it will push gas/oil up out the breathers on top of the motor.:bigeyes:

Oil level is actually a little on the low side. I checked it before starting it yesterday because it loses oil, I didn't want to harm the engine by running it dry. It doesn't leak as bad on a cold engine, but after a few minutes it really starts to smoke out the front grill, most likely because its getting burned off on the muffler.

Hopefully I'll get a chance to pull the cover plates sometime in the next few weeks so I can get a good look at what's going on. Most likely I'll need to track down a complete gasket set.

Your serial number says it is a May 1980 model.

That's a very nice 682, you have there! :beerchug:
