saving a 682....
This 682 was sitting for years in a field with a bunch of other tractors, both garden size and larger. My boss was cleaning, scrapping or selling off most of the bad stuff along with a whole lot of other machinery and scrap metal that had been hoarded over the years. His wife's dad had spent decades 'collecting' and hoarding all of this stuff, but would never sell any of it or get it to a good home. So most of the stuff set uncovered for years. he passed and left it all without doing much of anything with the stuff......
I wasn't interested in most of the tractors, ( I collect wheelhorses) but the 682 really caught my eye. I was worried about maybe picking up something that wasn't any good except for parts, and really didn't want to get into another brand of tractors, especially something I couldn't get going without sinking a bunch of money into it. I worked a cash deal on some wheel weights (IH) and made a verbal deal on the 682 for some work getting a k241 on a portable Lincoln welder going for him, that sounded better to me..... It took a month or two to finally get it home. I checked it over for any bad wiring and hooked up a battery to see what would happen. All the wiring looked OK, so I thought I'd take a chance and kick it in the guts and see if I hear good things or not....... Well, I wasn't able to get it running just yet, but there was no funky noises going on in there when turning it over either.... I got to the stage where I think the starter was jamming up and the Bendix needed some work. It turned over by hand fine, very tight though, just used to buying loose motors that will spin over quickly. I put a torque wrench on the PTO end to see how much force it took to spin it with the plugs out and it was about 150-200 in lbs..... seemed high. There was a crap load of mice nest in the blower housing and first of all I wanted to clean out all the crap, maybe pull the heads and check out the cylinders, mess with the starter, and put it back together and hopefully fire it up.......    That's all on the 682 story for this morning, I need to go to work...(it does have a happy ending though)....

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.
