Default Creeper Questions

Are the creepers used in the 582 the same as the creepers used in the narrow/wide frame tractors (other than handle dimensions)?

If so, can the creeper be used in conjunction with a 16 hp Kohler engine (K341) and gear drive transmission, since (as I understand) the 582 used a gear driven 16 hp Briggs & Statton engine.

Any thoughts?

The 582 creeper is the same as the earlier WF creeper. It doesn't matter what engine you have, as the creeper bolts to the transmission.

I understand that the creeper bolts to the transmission, I was under the impression that using a 16 hp engine with the creeper would require a stronger clutch loading spring. Looking at the parts diagram for a 582 and a 1000 shows the same part # (932-3016).
Is this correct?

All of the gear drive CCs with the possible exception of the Original used the same spring. You don't need a stronger spring for the creeper because the creeper is for reducing groundspeed for tillers and snowthrowers. It is NOT a TA. If you aren't using a tiller or snowthrower, I wouldn't bother with the creeper. They aren't meant for high-power ground-engaging use. If you plan on pulling a plow with a 16 hp tractor, you need a stronger aftermarket clutch spring.

Matt G:
Thanks for the replies.

So, if I understand you correctly, I do not need a stronger spring if I plan on only using the creeper for tilling (which I plan to do), but would need a stronger spring if I were to use a plow (which I won't).
Is that correct?

Thanks for your patience

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
