Difference...
Size (Red Larger) More models (Red) More HP (Red) More nostalgic (Yellow) Higher Cost (Red) Toughness (Draw) But what the heck I own 5 yellows and 2 Reds I love them all.

The yellow one also has a cast iron grill surround the red lone is cast aluminum

The rear end is defiantly cast iron and heavier than the possible aluminum one on the red one. They have both that were used.

If I can see right the red one has a hydraulic lift.

Both are fine machines.

Also, the yellow and white one is a narrow frame, while the red one is a wide frame.

I was really not referring to those two, but in general the difference between the red/yellow build ones, in my search for a "tank", I see/read a lot of red ones and yellow ones. Is fair to say that the yellow ones are better build than the red ones.

The RED 82 Series was introduced in 1979 to compliment the IH tractor line. It was a very successful Series. In 1981 IH sold the Cub Cadet Line to CCC (MTD).

At that time CCC introduced the 82 Series in a Yellow and White version. The Red Cubs went to IH Tractor Dealers while the Yellow and White Cubs went to Cub Cadet Dealers. The ONLY difference between the 82 Series models was the paint.

In 1985, CCC stopped offering the Red 82 Series Cubs.

The RED 82 Series Cubs are viewed by most Cubs Fans as a great series. I have one and it is one of my favorite Cubs. I wouldn't part with mine.

I would be hard pressed to say any of the older yellow cubs are better than the red ones. They are all "Tanks". There are a lot of people, me included, that think the x82 series tractors are the best ones they ever built. The 782 is my personal favorite, but I do love my 982 as well.

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.
