Dragged home a 2182 with 60" deck
Well, I've been out of the game a bit, with no time for working on Cubs except maintaining my own workers. I haven't brought anything home in over a year. Yesterday I saw a 2182 pop up that was quite cheap, that came with a 60" deck, and 54" blade. So I went and got it and brought it home on a whim (and drove through severe thunderstorm and tornado warnings to get it!). It has many new parts, been well maintained... but it has a driveshaft issue that was the last straw for the previous owner and he decided to sell it and get a new Kubota. Basically it came lose, ate the fan and knocked off one of the hydro lines. I haven't dug into it too much yet, because the shaft is already out if it. But I think it came loose off the input shaft by the looks of it. It has 2300 hours on it, but I don't know that that's bad for a well maintained Kubota engine... the engine is clean, but I don't know much about them and for the price I was interested in messing with one. The hood is basically gone, the typical plastic fractures. I've been very partial towards the 82 series around here, so I was considering transplanting the Kubota into my 1912 since my M20 is starting to smoke under load, but this has a new power steering cylinder and recently rebuilt steering gear, and I would have to switch around the gas tank and all that. So I'm thinking about what to do with it... I've been in contact with Jeff about parts for the driveline to figure out that aspect of it. I'll attach some photos once I get it all unloaded and stuff.

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.
