I am at 1400 hours on my 2182. I had a walker ztr with the diesel version of the same motor with 3200 hours on it. neither one has/had an issue with the motor. the cap rotor and wires are a bit of a pain to replace. I dont run fuel with alcohol so I cannot tell you if that effects the carb. the rear axles tend to come loose and leak, sponsors above have the brace to fix that. I have had a few electrical issues due to corrosion on the terminals. simple cleaning fixed them all. still have an extra alternator NIB that turned out to be a dirty spade terminal connection. mufflers can be expensive. I bought my last one from a marine supply store for 1/3 the cub cadet price. I use a car battery instead of the lawn and garden battery. as with all cyclops tractors the plastic bodywork is brittle and breaks easily. I have replaced all three panels at this point with panels from other models - hand cut the muffler hole. it may be a Super but it isnt build like the old stuff!
I love mine-but it is a bit thirsty
