1641 vs. 2182 - Page 2

IMHO it would cost more and be a lot more work than finding a 1882 etc. And would ruin the value of an earlier super to do so unless the hood, fenders and dash are trashed. Also, the dash is different and you would need to relocate the gas tank under the fenders to make it work. Simply put it would be better to find a later super like your after.

So the only thing that would make it even remotely worth while is if I found basically a rolling frame and transmission of an older super and a good price on a later GT for the body panels.

Do you mean they "sip" fuel in a sarcastic way meaning they guzzle it down, or do you literally mean they only sip fuel as in don't use very much at all?? Cuz I've found one for $500 Except he says it has a gas engine, so maybe it's been repowered??

That's not really what I am looking for, I really like the look of next generation. Not that I wouldn't settle for a good deal, but if I am going to pay that much, it's gonna be EXACTLY what I want.

Thanks for the replies

Just wondering if there are any major differences between a 1641 and 2182 or similar. My reasoning is, I really like the 2182, 2284, 2084, etc along those lines. And I see a few 1641's for sale for cheap near me. Obviously the motor's are different, I get that, that the first numbers are the HP motor, and from analyzing pics, some of the bigger tractors seem to have power steering. I also notice tire sizes. I guess my question is, if I buy one of these 1641, is there any reason why I couldn't fairly easily (provided parts are easy to come by) be able to convert it to a 2284 or something by swapping motors and tires, and adding PS??

Thanks,
Eric

Not sure where in michigan you are but Aldermans in Lennon has (2) supers from the era you are talking about. I looked at the 2182 and started it up it is a nice tractor with low hours. It did have some issues with the plastic hood, but from what I gather that is very common with those rigs.

What they meant about the diesel "sipping fuel" is the diesel cubs get very good fuel economy, compared to a gas tractor.

Fire up your Hemi and take a ride to Galax VA and I'll hook you up with the Cub of your dreams. I have 3 Supers for you to choose from.

I meant sip as they consume fuel at lower rate then the gas engines.

The 2182's had a 3 cyl gas engine that looks just like a diesel with the muffler in the same place as well.

If your into looking at tractor pics and specs.

Hmm. I'm in Montrose, so Alderman's is just straight down M-13, I'll have to go check those out.

Also, I can't seem to figure out how to tell, like by the model number if it is a super or not. I found what the guy says is a 1992 17 HP Cub Cadet. The only 17 HP on or around 1992 I see on the Tractor Data site (which I visit religously) is a 1782...and I imagine it is a super has it says it has a Kubota diesel...anyway, I can get that for $700 and a 148 mile drive one way. Though there are no pics posted so I have no idea what condition it is in, but he says it is in good shape.

Just read through this thread, any updates, yet?

No such thing as a dumb idea. I f that is what you want to do, go for it.

I have a few tractors and lots of parts and have considered modifying stuff from time to time.

I grew up in a "tractor pulling family" Modified multi engine stuff and allisons, so I guess in some sense, "I have issues" HAH

In any case, if you want to give it a try, all you are out is time and maybe a little cash.

Sooner see you swap to a diesel engine and see how that goes. I plan to do that with an older cub and a 65 deere 110.

Also have an twin opposed Onan for my "currently engineless 1641", torn between that a a single cylinder briggs 16hp.
Then again, the onan ,might be just the thing for the 127 I have
