New To Me Cub Cadet 1882
Hey guys,
I picked up a Cub Cadet 1882 with a deck and a snow blower, for $150, obviously a steal. I don't know anything about cub cadets, so any tips you guys have, I am happy to learn. Off the top, I'd like to know how to ID the tractor off of the VIN, as I understand there were different submodels of the tractor. Are there any other differences I should know about? My goals for the tractor so far, are to make sure nothing is catastrophically wrong with it, and then catch up on maintenance and mow with it for a summer to get a feel for it. Then I'd like to do a full tear-down, and rebuild/restoration, although I am not bent on keeping everything bone-stock. I'll upload some pictures later. Thanks in advance for any tips/info!

Maintenance is a must. Itll treat you good for years but if you put off basic maintenance , itll break down on you in the worst place (furthest from where you store it).
Oil changes are important. I save money by extending the time between changes by several weeks to eek out more money. Oil filters too. Keep an eye on tire pressure. They wear wrong if over inflated. And from experience, check the battery connections to be sure theyre not loose. Safety-wise, check the hinges on the seat which lets you get access to the battery. Mine rusted through during a ride one day and it popped off. Very dangerous. Replacement brackets are cheap online. There are a bunch of sites where you can get info on your tractor including YouTube: https://www.tractordata.com/lawn-tra...adet-1882.html

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.
