The MTD built 82 series was a total improvement over anything IH did, even with the aluminum rear.

I agree. They also managed to develop a real 3 point hitch. I think the 984 from MTD or 1811 were the peak unit (good engines, 82 series styling but Y/W), although the 1782 is probably my all time favorite with P/S and the D640 Kubota/375 Haban deck.
