Default Has anyone ever repowered a 982
NEW to this Site and I like what's here... Great info and conversations
I was wondering if anyone has repowered a 982 with a Kubota diesel, I'm on my second Onan engine and thought I'd try something else

own 2 Kubota's as well, so same fuel would nice
Thanks everyone

Welcome to OCC. People have talked about putting diesel's in tractors that were gas but I'm not sure I have seen one done yet. I don't see why it can't be done, you'll have to move some things around to get it to fit. I still think it's gonna get expensive to do. Have you ever thought about dropping a Vanguard or Kohler Command in it? What engine do you have to drop in there? The Cub diesels used the Kubota D600 & D640's.

Thanks to both of you for your replies, and yes, I agree, this is a very good Site filled with like minded people...
I have replaced the B48G Onan once, nice easy job, the 982 is a well engineered tractor,
I still have the original engine, in fact it is perfectly fine... Someone ran it out of gas and filled the tank with diesel , and of course I never checked the tank, figured the poor old thing was done.... So after lots of searching, I found a good one and did the switch... Live and learn
My son, the diesel fuel guy, is repainting the 982 this winter, let will post a few pictures when done...

Thanks Cubcrazy, great site here, I wish I would have checked it out years earlier. Also, it's a pleasure knowing I'm not the only overly attached to tractors type of guy around.... I still regret selling my cub 128 20 years ago.

This looks very interesting Sam, China made no doubt, but for only 2k, not a bad deal. I would really like to get my hands on a Kubota though, I will keep looking...
Thanks for sending the link...
Dan
And thanks to everyone for your warm welcome to this Site...

Think you are right about the pull start. They must have done away with it, pretty sure they used to have a pull start on them. That site has more info than the one I posted also found a vid of one in a motorcycle that had the fan cover off. It looks like pretty much the same style flywheel as a Vanguard or Kohler so it should be easy to make an adapter. Got a crappy pic of it using my camera.

Yep most of the Vanguards have a 1" shaft so that should not be an issue.

Randy you could be the first one on your block with one of these.

1 7/16 is what the JD guys use....Mine on the 1872 (mag 18) is 1 1/8th...

Just throw a Kohler Command 20hp in it and you would be good to go....

I've done JD 318's and 420 repower going from CC to JD powerplants so I dont see where putting one in a 982 would be in the arena as building a rocketship.

Go on CL and find a good 2000 series CC and take it from there.

Recoup the monies from the deck and other attachments to pay for the engine.

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.
