Smile New Member Introduction

Hello everyone,
I just joined and wanted to take a minute to introduce myself. My name is Zac, i'm 32 and live in Michigan. I build custom kitchens and shower systems out of solid surface such as Corian or LX Hi-Mac for my job. That being said I enjoy using working with my hands and learning. I love doing yard work and working on my own equipment. I have a used LT 1045 that I have been using for my normal mowing, thatching, etc..., but have just come into the possession of an older mower that I don't know much about. From what I can tell it is an 1882 STG. I joined this group hoping to get some help from anyone who is willing to give me some pointers about any known issues I might want to look into and any information on the rear PTO. I believe this tractor is equipped with the ability for a rear PTO and it has a 3 pt hitch on it but I can't tell if I'm missing some parts to be able to use it or where to even begin to look for them if I need them. If there is a more appropriate place to post looking for answers please let me know where I should be posting.

Thank you,
Zac

Zac, welcome to OCC. The 1882 machines are pretty good machines but here are some things to look for. These machines were also called "Cyclops" because of the single headlight panel.

Check the rear case where it bolts to the frame. Make sure all the bolts are there and not loose. They should be torqued to 30 ft/lbs. There are also mounting tabs on the front of the rear case that some times break also.

Wiring can sometimes be an issue and also the plastic grill and hood will sometimes be cracked or broken.

The Kohler Magnum 18 is a good engine but parts are getting pretty expensive if it needs to be repaired. As with any 30+ year old machine the engines get overheated from dirt, grass clippings, mouse nests any other crap blocking the cooling fins on the jugs. It's usually a good winter project to pull the engine and give it a good cleaning, inspect the head gaskets for any signs of leaks and or pull the heads, resurface and replace the gaskets.

These machines probably have the best driveshaft system called the "CV" type. A lot of times they are not greased and the grease and will need to be pulled apart, cleaned and re-lubricated. The steering shaft is also the same.

Member Sam Mac is the Cyclops guru along with a few other members too. Here are some good posts about the cyclops machines. Not all of these apply to the 1882.

I would also install a set of rear end braces on it too. Lots of posts on here about installing those.

All the above stuff is pretty easy to do and we are here to help you in any way we can.

All Cyclops machines had the option for the rear cat 0 3 point lift system and rear pto. The rear pto is powered off of the rear output shaft sticking out of the hydro pump. The rear pto is getting hard to find any when you do they usually bring $750+. Here is what it will look like.

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.
