I would love to get my hands on an NOS Onan engine for one of these! Very cool. The weighted disk on the PTO clutch is a Cub Cadet thing, to my knowledge no other manufacturers used one. I am thinking it is to reduce vibration but i don't know for sure. You should be fine without it as most other manufacturers that used these engines (Deere, Case, Sears) never used that part, to my knowledge.

I actually didn't know these were that rare until now. I have a PDF of the 1987 GT brochure which is probably the one you showed in the video listing it with an Onan, and never really thought anything of it. Rather odd of them to list it that way knowing so few Onans were left and that they'd be switching over to Kohler. As good as the Magnums are, an Onan is always a plus in anything so thats a great find! Looking forward to seeing you do more with it this coming spring.

The brochure in the video was indeed the early 1987 brochure - it's always been a mystery to me why they listed the Onan engine when they were already gearing up to switch over to Kohler Magnums - guessing they didn't want to be sued for false advertising if someone got an Onan when they were wanting a Kohler.

A customer sent me the driveshaft assembly for rebuilding out of his Cub Cadet 2072 a few days ago.

I noticed at 21:55 your video, Xtrememotorworks.com rear axle brace front brackets aren't bolted to the frame. They don't work unless they are, maybe something the PO may have overlooked??? Two rectangular steel plates that come with the installation kit that utilize those two silver unused boltheads in the tractor frame.

WOW, excellent find Michael, I never knew the early 2072's came with a factory Onan engine (kind of clever on their part to use the engines they already have instead of waiting on a stock of Kohler M20's), it's just like a 1914. As far as compatible mower decks for these Super Cubs, I do believe the 46gt deck you bought for your 782 project will fit this 2072. Although it will look a little small under this tractor, I have seen one on a 1872 before, so I imagine that it'll fit this tractor as well.
@MichaelTJD60
@MichaelTJD60 3 жыл бұрын
You are right, it's basically just a 1914 with power steering and the newer style parking brake latch. Nothing really worth getting excited over, but I just think it's neat that they only made 83 of them. You are correct that the 46GT deck will fit, as they were offered as an option for these tractors. I have a 50" deck back home in NJ waiting to go on this tractor, but I think I may try the 46GT deck instead since I now have a much smaller piece of property to mow. Probably going to get a smaller deck for the 318 as well.

I've been debating whether to install a CCC emblem on the front. Being an early '87 it most likely came with it from the factory, but considering how these machines were just "slapped together" to get them down the assembly line, who knows if it ever really did leave the factory with that emblem. Many of the CCC-built tractors that had that emblem from the factory either broke or lost them, so that's a possibility as well.

@MichaelTJD60
@MichaelTJD60 3 жыл бұрын
To provide better traction for snow plowing. It was common for dealers to install the 75-lb wheel weights on these Super Cub Cadets because the aluminum transaxle case made the rear end very light (as compared to the heavier cast iron transaxle used on the earlier models), and the tractors would often lose traction on slopes or when plowing snow/ice...especially the models with the heavy cast iron engine blocks like the 1872 and later 2072 (Kohler Magnum engine) and the 1572/1772 (Kubota diesel engine). It wasn't as much of an issue on the 982 and Onan 2072 because the Onan engines have an aluminum block and are not as heavy.

Yes it was. That equates to about $14,350 in today's money, which is the going rate for a top-of-the-line shaft driven super garden tractor like the Deere X700 series, so the $5995 price tag is actually pretty spot-on. In 1987, this was the largest gas-powered garden tractor Cub Cadet offered.

I was working Cub Cadets for our IH dealer 79 to 84. Even back then the 782 models were going for four grand. I replaced a lot of blocks in the early 782s due to bad design and throwing rods.

@@robertheinkel6225 Nice to hear from someone who worked with these machines when they were new! Unfortunately my 782 (a later white and yellow model - one of the last ones to have a series 1 Kohler engine) suffered the broken rod failure a couple years before I bought it. I was amazed the original owner managed to get 850 hours out of that engine. The 82 series are very stout tractors - the best Cub Cadet tractors built, in my opinion.

More rare than a 782D, 784, 2182, etc? 1812? That said, awesome find.

By far. The rarest of those models would probably be the 782D and there are still tens of thousands of them out there. Likely less than 50 of these Onan 2072's still surviving out there.

@@Farmall450 It would certainly be a challenge considering all models followed a single serial number sequence and the records are very inconsistent. I think I calculated that around 6,000 of the 882's were built, but I have no way to verify that. The 782D's were built an extra year or two so it's presumed that the 882's are less common. I've been trying to hunt down the remaining Onan 2072's and so far I only know of one still complete and two that have been parted out, in addition to mine.

It's the same tractor as a 982 but with power steering...which IH never had the thought to include on that model. MTD perfected the design of these tractors before they started going downhill later in the 90's. BTW...every Cub Cadet GT made by MTD until 1998 was based off the original 82 series frame.

Yes, the original red 82 series Cub Cadets were modeled after the 88 series IH farm tractors, and the design was carried on after MTD bought the Cadet line and started painting them white and yellow again.

@@MichaelTJD60 Sadly we all know all about how the Brand Name survives ...but at the expense of ruggedness and durability . No amount of sheet metal can substitute for cast iron . Recently I went by a house that had an 88 for sale ..even though I own a Kubota loader backhoe I thought to buy it and preserve it for posterity as a piece of machinery MADE IN USA when it really meant something 😄, I managed to turn around about a mile down the road and by the time I got back to that house somebody was handing green cash to the owner ...that is what deserve for not stomping on the brakes ...😂😂 won`t happen again 😅.. congratulations to you for your find s enjoy👍
