The RED 82 Series was introduced in 1979 to compliment the IH tractor line. It was a very successful Series. In 1981 IH sold the Cub Cadet Line to CCC (MTD).
At that time CCC introduced the 82 Series in a Yellow and White version. The Red Cubs went to IH Tractor Dealers while the Yellow and White Cubs went to Cub Cadet Dealers. The ONLY difference between the 82 Series models was the paint.
In 1985, CCC stopped offering the Red 82 Series Cubs.
The RED 82 Series Cubs are viewed by most Cubs Fans as a great series. I have one and it is one of my favorite Cubs. I wouldn't part with mine.
