Regarding the little door you remove to access the dipstick, I too have always wondered what exactly was its purpose.

let him know today this was on the ones with 3 pt hitch. They never sold a Cadet with 3pt and very few with the sleeve hitch.
Mine also has the expanding plug


My blue ribbon IH service manual does show the expanding plug too, I assume they changed it to prevent any chance of it popping out.


Unfortunately I have bad news about it only with three point I got my 982 from the 2nd owner who only had it a few months, and it never had three point until I added it

Guess the 3pt theory was in error. I haven't gotten around to pulling the dipstick back out to try to get it to tighten up--I've spent my morning tweaking/cleaning the carb--successfully it appears as it now runs without the choke on.

Pulled the dipstick and got everything freed up, it now tightens as it should. You can see from the photo someone has wrenched on it with a pair of channelocks or vise-grips. I still need to pick up supplies to service the hydro. I want to run it around some first to see if any leaks arise.

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.
