Cub 582 Special
I recently acquired a 582 special and am in the process of going through it to make sure it is in runnung condition.
The hour meter on this cub only shows 639 hours run time. When I received it the previous owner said it would not start, I checked the motor and it was over full of oil/gas mix in the crankcase, guess the float stuck and all the gas that was in the tank drained into the motor. I removed the tin on the motor to inspect the cooling fins for debris and found none. I drained the oil/gas mix out of the motor and fill to correct level with new 10w-30 oil. Drained out the remaining old gas from the tank and added 2 fresh gallons of gas, installed a good battery and turned the key. After a bit of coaxing it fired up and ran nice and smooth. I am planning on turning this cub into a snowplowing tractor once I get all the needed parts.

Not being a smart@$$, but why is it called a "special"?

David:
It is because it has a "special" transmission. Instead of the traditional IH rear end in it, it has a Peerless Transaxle, run by a belt.

As I am told, it was developed to compete (in price) with the Hardware Store (MTD branded) tractors.

It would be real interesting to find the original retail price of a 582 Special compared to a 582. I have run across a few Specials for sale over the last couple years, they were tempting, but I resisted. I don't know, it's something about belts and Peerless transaxles. I'm sure they would still outlast any comparable tractor of the same period, and have!

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.
