Anyone else like their little lawn tractor better than their big tractors??
You have a bad compression release on one of the cylinders
The half dozen cubs in my garage and another 5 outside would make me have to say yes I like em better then the big ones lol
@@catsbyondrepairshould have an internal acr on the camshaft that would run both sides
Yah I got 6 case garden tractors and I love them
We use our John Deere 430 and 455 alot so much fun and easy to use and work on compared to our 50-110hp tractors!
Love it! The old stuff is the greatest!
Cant Beat the apposing 2 cylinder engines, Sounds Great that should run for ever.
That is a cool little cub cadet, hopefully you can figure out a repair for the leaking hydro. It was nice that you could breath new life into it and as you said if you can preserve it well, one day your son would no doubt love to be able to use it as you did when you were young. Thanks for sharing !.
Well that was satisfying! No better feeling than to resurrect something old like that. Using it for the work it was intended to do.
I’ve owned many of these cub cadets. They are built very well.
My old Cub Cadet 125 has been retired and sitting in my tarp shed for the last 2 years. Sad situation. Best damn tractor I have ever owned. Hydro version, with chains. 12HP. This video has made me think I should give it a crank, I am sure it would start right up.
Pushes like a champ!Good job! Vintage IH!
good little plougher with those chains on
Well done !!
Subscribed!!! Just like my Cub Cadet 104 and my Suburban SS 12 & SS 14...you can give them a rest, but you just can’t stop them!!
Great Recovery of your Old Cub Cadet!
Thanks!
That's pretty cool. And I thought that it was going to be a diesel engine? But the regular gas engine s are good engines to
Deserves to be restored. Those old internationals are getting fewer and fewer. They are tanks always liked them!
I quite agree. I have a 982 International Harvester Cub Cadet tractor to, and they are worth their weight in gold. All these older tractors are much better that this new junk out there today especially these zero turn radius go cart mowers, to me, they are an accident ready to happen, they look unsafe to me. I also like the Power King tractors and the older Wheel Horse tractors to.
Needs a paint can restore and use it love old garden tractor
Nice video. Me patiently waiting for another 782 video.
to try and stop the leaking on the hydro clean the pressure relief valves because mine leaked but I cleaned them, and it does not leak anymore.
I really enjoy watching you go out and work on these machines armed with what seems to be nothing but a few spanners and a can of WD40. 🚜🔧
Glad you like them!
Great Job! Those KT17 Series II engines are sweet. Now I need to get my dual stick 1650 going, it's been a backyard lawn ornament waaaaay too long!
usually people who own several tractors own such "ornaments"
@@kirdot2011 I only have 9 or 10 left! My favorites are my first IHCC 107, a 123, and my 1650 dual Stick. The rest are Deeres, Real Sears, a Husqvarna and a Crapsman
1993 cub cadet with kohler command on my Chanel best darn tractor. Small and strong
Love your videos
Hydro leak super common mine leaks too lol. I bet it's the auto relief valves or the gasket that goes in-between the pump output and the differential.
Especially it being A cub cadet tractor to begin with to. Those are rare.& Not to mention getting harder to find anymore now days to. And if you do find.,or happen to run across one of those types of machines like that one they end up needing a lot more work than most people anticipate on it being to.
Can you answer something, How come you didn't you's your Backhoe, and just Pick it up and carry it to the House, Or at lease put it on the driveway and push it to the house
Thinking the same thing. Get it in the garage, and do all the trouble shooting and repairs first. Once everything's done, time to then get her going an plow the snow, HOWEVER!!! Since there is a obvious hydraulic leak, get that looked into first before getting her up and running a d plowing.
I am very impressed to see it run and do as well as it is doing... I have twelve feet of snow in my yard here in alaska...... might just be a touch much for this little girl tho/lol
Maybe we can get a snowblower for you 🤣
@@dieseJL Nice thought but my son does keep my seventy three year old lazy butt out of trouble, he is only sixty so he can still do something.. plus since he makes a insane amount of money managing all the gold mines in alaska... platinum cards enough to buy a fleet of snow blowers.... I have a naughty joke about snow blowers but this ain't the place for that I'm sure
Yes
You had engine out, should have put new starter in. Just my .02
Nice work on getting it running.
Thanks! Hopefully more to come!
Something was leaking on the hydraulic system on it. I'd fix that part on it for sure bro. It's A cool plowing tractor you got yourself there to. I wouldn't ruin it just because of A leaking hydraulic problem issues for sure man.
We have a Kohler Magnum on a old gravely mower it doesn't like to start below 60° outside!! But powerful as all get out!
Yeah they’re good engines!!
Never understood why people leave equipment outside for years so it gets ruined by rust.
What a crime to just forget about such a fantastic machine, shame on you!
Sadly it was treated this way I’m very old and I have AllWAYS taken care of what God has given me
I wash and wax my 982 International Harvester Cub Cadet tractor.
Getting a 54 inch Cub Cadet riding mower delivered this week from Tractor Supply, I hope it lives up to the hype!
Feeler gauge at .020 for point gap .010 for flywheel coil gap on most all small engines
Why would this beauty be left out like this?
Thanks!
Thanks for the support!
Great video. I know a LOT! Of people who leave their stuff out in the weather. Only, every year to be faced with the same problems, year after year. I’m, not you…..but if I still lived in the peoples republic. And had a piece of property with trees. I would have a saw mill and build a pole barn for all my stuff. Wanna keep out the rodents? Moth ball sachets everywhere around that engine, wiring, intakes etc. cost is about $2 per vehicle. Use old socks for the bags to put moth balls in. Just my opinion. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
I keep every thing under metal sheld or in garage year around Hate snow and when it’s wet But love rain
Ain't gonna disagree with you on that. And yes, a pole barn would be the wisest choice to build to keep this little out of the weather especially in the winter time.
Ticky just like the KT17 I rebuilt for my 782. The rear 3 point on that machine is nice, you have the lift arms for it ?
yeah I do I have a plow and a tiller for it too
@@dieseJL a 3 point tiller or the one with the gearbox that mounts to the back of the trans ?
I have a 1969 simplicity 3212h salvogen hydrostat that's been sitting for 8 years and I am having ignition issues but it won't run anymore had it running last week and never got it running again engine has been rebuilt
So I say on it save the tractor bro.
Boys, how about pre planning next time Working in wet snow is being sick and cost money
Dont let a guy that uses a bit driver as a impact for socket to work on anything not even legos
Well they do not make them that good any more , plus snow haha yeah nice to see but we’ll hight of the monsoon here and snow and tropics not seen snow since high school and I’m 70
I think you should have rebuilt it again cleaned up all the rest of it
Yep I agree Why not
Perché non c'è la possibilità di traduzione in italiano Sarebbe bello Mik
When were cub cadets red?? Always yellow or cream!
Anniversary special!
In the book about Farmall Cub Tractor by Kenneth Updyke, first of all, International Harvester contracted Wagner to build their tractors with, which he never mentioned however I do know this to be a fact. International Harvester fired Wagner and started bukidingbtheir own small tractors with the Farmall Cub rear ends on them, calling them Cubettes. They were rounded looking tractors, however back to the drawing Bird with the 1961 square version of the Cub Cadet tractor all the way up till the 80's when it was returned to the red painting as you are seeing here, which was the Farmall Cub tractors in the many years International Harvester was building farm tractors. The decision to now paint them red was a corporate decision returning back to the roots and origins of the tractor in itself. Later down the run, Cub Cadet Corporation out of Cleveland, Ohio began building the Cub Cadet tractors and going back ti the yellow and white paint scheme. Later still in 1989, 1990, International Harvester sold off its garden division to Machine Tool and Die which now just sayin Cub Cadet on it's outside body of these machines with the MTD labeling on it to. International Harvester merged with Case calling themselves Case International and International Harvester moved into the trucking division of sales and parts with their Navistar trucks they now own and sell.
The 782 and 982 tractors were all red. They are highly desirable tractors to Cub Cadet enthusiasts. Well worth restoration.
Why mess with the garden tractor when you have a good little Ford ?
Why did you guys come down there with loader tractor load it up in the
Why did you guys come down there with a loader tractor unloaded 100 floor tractor tractor and all what do I be a little bit easier in a little bit smarter
Clean up the hub caps with wd40 and steal wool
Rubbing compond and a little water.
To burnout light bulbs you got a perfectly good grad sitting in over there and you're working outside what kind of a dummy are you pick that lawn tractor up and take it into the garage and work on it in there instead of working outside and being cold
WORKIN' WITH WHAT THEY HAVE HOSS, MAYBE THE GARAGE IS FULL, AND A COUPLE EXTRA LAYERS NEVER HURT ANYONE. GAHBLESS
Я таким работникам руки переломал што бы двигатель так больше не пытались заводить который стоял неизвестно сколько
Lawn tractor has a lower gear you might lose use a lower gear in that plow tractor video call better came for
Extreme stupidity! Why in the hell you didnt haul that thing in to inside? You had the machinery to do that...😂😂😂
You can’t haul it it’s a hydro
watchign the video to see it drive oput the grave also remove all audio and put music over it so you can't even hear the thing running or working
I apologize, I had a technical issue and didn’t have audio 🥴
@@dieseJL ah that suck
Your going to hurt your self the way you're going about it
you dont have much respect for your equipment , do you?
Sadly some folks don’t
Looks like everything is outside rusting.
When you need the tractor every winter, why is no place in a barn or Garage.
see i would just drag to the shop why do all that there ....take the truck and a chain...and get it to the shoppppppppppp!!!!!!!!!
