Yes he's correct. It should also have a black front and rear axle. Rear axle can be eather cast iron or aluminum. Red ones were sold at ih dealers and yellow were at cub cadet dealers.

About the only real difference between the two the then the series two would be the paint and if it had a aluminum rear diff. Which personaly I've never had a issue with. Cut just as well and are just as usable as the ih built one. If it is a real early one it may have the cast rear which in that case the only real difference is the paint... personaly I like 582 better then 682s. But I'm quite fond of gear drives.

I guess I'm missing something because I'm not understanding.

The 582 is a 16 hp gear drive and the 682 is a 17 hp hydrostatic drive.

The same mower decks were available for both machines. And with the hydrostat transmission demanding more power to operate than a gear drive transmission, your 582 is just as capable of a machine as a 682.

Besides hydro/gear drive transmissions the only other real difference between the two is the 682 has a Kohler engine where the 582 has a B & S.

So how come you think there is enough difference that you want to trade?

Hydrostatic transmissions do not take more hp to run, they do not transmit as much hp to the ground. Hp efficiency is the difference.

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.
