Glad you finally found one, and a more "rare" version at that (yellow)! That Onan will have plenty of power for the deck, mine does well pulling a 60".
So what's the plan, mow grass, plow, trailer queen restoration, or sit around and collect dust? Inquiring minds want to know!

A Yellow 982? Never knew they existed...looks to be in beautiful condition - and loaded. What year? We need video to hear that Onan!
And with that monster, you don't NEED any other machines!

Thanks to everyone for all the kind comments! I appreciate them all!
Thanks Lew for letting me score this one! Thanks Todd aka Oak, for giving me a shot at it! TerryC, I used to work on the old Onans back in the mid eighties... hearing those exhaust notes the other day immediately brought back memories.. I can tell an Onan a mile off!

After I figured out this deal was going to happen I had thoughts of a total tear down and a color change to red! But after realizing how rare a Yellow 982 may be, Im afraid a red conversion might be a sin! Or at least some people on here would probably run me off! For now I will focus on all the mechanical issues and little things that need attention. Complete service and tune up, probably a trunion repair, check out the driveline, a bit of play in the steering etc.. I like to run them a while before any paint or cosmetic work.. that way if you have to go back there are no paint scratching issues! After running it some I have no doubt the Onan has the guts to handle a Haban 60 incher. Glad to know that yours does.. I'll run the 50C for now... but if I ran across a spare Haban who knows! It appears to have been painted once (not the best job, but not the worst) and it Might get a fresh paint job, but it will never be a trailer queen. I like to work them too much!

Allen,
I really wanted your red 982, But this one was already in the works when yours came up for sale! Dan had really bent over backwards for me on the yellow 982, and he gave me the opportunity to back out, but I felt bad and decided not to back out. Was hoping to get a shot at yours also, but somebody beat me to it! Oh well, was probably a blessing because I have too many already!

I think it was built in late 1982 as a 1983 model. But i haven't even had time to run the numbers! The paint looks a bit better in the pictures than in person, but It really is a nice straight tractor. I'll work on a video! I LOVE an Onan... esp the sound.. just hope I don't need many Onan parts because they are EXPENSIVE! I'd love to have it looking like yours do one day! And you are 100 percent correct! I don't NEED any more tractors! This is my third Super in less than a year!! And I haven't sold anything!! The sheds are bout full!

That's "super" Jay I'm glad you finally got one you've been looking for quite a while. And that baby has some cool options. Cool to see you got a northern edition too! I have a few of those myself. I will say like most here that I didn't know about the yellow/white option either, you did very well. I guess I will still hunt for mine.

Does the tag state 982 or 986?? I had one that was loaded and it was a "986"... all the goodies but Power Steering...
I ended up taking off the peripherals and putting them on my 1872.... Its pretty close to a 1914 also... Good find... |

I wasn't looking real hard and never in my dreams would I have thought I could or would make a deal that far off.. The more I talked to Dan the more I just kinda fell into it. Maybe I will find a red 982 one day. I may play with this one for a while and then let it find a new home. I don't really know yet. It seems all the Supers are up north.. seldom do I run across one in the south.. I think all out Northern buddies are hoarding them!!

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.
