Why not
I’ve rebuilt some, restored some, modified some, but never got the red one I wanted. I wanted a Super for sure. Wasn’t looking forward to pouring fuel into a 982, I am, after all, officially, a senior citizen now. I could add power steering to anything. But a cyclops has everything I wanted, except for, the color! SO. Build what Cub Cadet didn’t. Again.

Working
I took it completely apart. The plastic was in fair shape. I drill and tap the broken side panel posts for 5/16 stainless studs. They are lock tighted in. The grills I repair/strengthen by riveting aluminum strips inside. Then lay a couple layers of fiberglass cloth and resin. It also got heat reflective material as the side panels did.
P. S. I use a product called “Pig Putty” to build up and strengthen the area to be drilled/tapped. It is a 2 part epoxy putty they you knead together and form it as needed. SUPER strong!

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.
