Just to give you one other illustration about the power advantage of liquid cooling, look at the motorcycle industry (and b/c it's another of my favorite hobbies). Motorcycles have traditionally been air cooled. The lastest generation of fast motorcycles are water cooled. There are 1000cc engines putting out 160 hp and these aren't race engines. Racing motorcycles in MotoGP (Grand Prix racing) are getting 200+ hp out of 1000 cc. Most modern air cooled production motorcycle engines of 1000cc put out a little over 100hp.

Now obviously the power differential on small engines like in our tractors is not going to be as great, but it gives you an idea. And like you said, it adds extra parts and fluid and cost to the tractor.

Duke, after I got it running I parked it in the barn. Now that its warming up and the days are getting longer I need to finish my 126 that has been in pieces for over a year. After I complete that, I will tear into the 2182.

Sounds like you've got a plan!

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.
