That is why I decided to build mine piece by piece from the frame up. That way I can take my time and go through every piece. Then I can replace seals,bearings, bolts,gaskets, anything worn or needs attention. When I am done it will be what I want, and how I want it, hopefully without any surprises. Like the hydro pump I got from another member on here. I trust him that it was good. But it is currently completely tore down waiting for new seals and bearings. Then I will know it is good, and hopefully be good for along time.

I just reread the guy's email. And who ever he talked to told him this 1882 was made in 1986, which is completely incorrect from what I can find.

Something just isn't adding up at all with this tractor and seller. Thinking it might be best for me to just drop it completely instead of possibly ending up getting screwed.

I think I'll see about getting a better look at it. I know the body panels and rims all match up to an 1882, but I guess after that it could be anything.

Is there anything specific I should look for to try to figure out what it is exactly if it's not an 1882?

Just look and make sure it has dual brakes, 26 and 18 inch tires,power steering, and make sure the tunnel cover is longer than your 1811. Then you will now it is in fact a super. From there it really doesn't matter as they are pretty much the same. Just different options.

Keep in mind that most of the people selling these things don't know as much about them as they think they do. It's very common for people to have the year wrong when listing a tractor. There are also people that can't tell a Kohler from a Briggs engine, either. $800 isn't too bad. I paid $1000 for my 1872, and you've probably seen how much I had to do to that thing to get it functional...

When it rains it pours I guess. A red/white 782 came up on CL today as well for $450. Fully functional according to the ad and the email from the seller. Says he mows 3 lawns a week with it.

What to do? What to do?

I think the super would be better if it's not same hacked up version since it's got the potential for all the options you could hope for in a small tractor.

Maybe Joe will buy the 782 :biggrin2.gif:

Not interested in a 782. I already have all the parts that I could use from it. And I am kinda partial to the yellow ones. I think if it were me, I would go there with the $800 and then proceed to nit pick it. Then offer him $700 the way it sits. Tell him if he can start it so you know the engine is good, you will give him the $800. Even if you just buy it to part out, you will be way ahead.

Either way, you will have a great starting point for a nice machine.

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.
