Tractor Wanted WANTED red 582 non Special

[1811Cub]

I am looking for a cosmetically clean and complete red 582(not Special) within a 3hr drive each direction from ZIP 16933. Prefer it to run to make it easier to transport, but that is not totally necessary. Prefer IH built with cast iron 3 speed manual transaxle, but will consider all. Looking for machines under $800.

Also looking for solid running Kohler Command V-Twin horizontal shaft 18-up HP CH18-22 with Cub spec crank to fit the correct PTO. Preferably under $600.

Putting my feelers out there now. Will be in a position to consummate the deal around the 25th of this month.

Thank you in advance.

I know where there is a yellow/white 582. Not what you listed, but figured I'd throw it out there.

 

[1811Cub]

Thank you. Really would like a red 582 to compliment my 682, 782, 782D, and the 1282. The yellow and white 582 is an obscure model.

Pretty sure you can still buy red paint.

I have a red 482 but it’s not cosmetically clean or running lol, but hopefully I will get to it maybe this year?

There are a couple of Kohler Twins on FB right now.

marketplace/item/864676358099373 (Ohio) - CH18S, 300hrs

marketplace/item/1353601828809424 (Maryland, just below PA line) - Has several, and an amazing collection of used cubs. Could spend hours there, where I got my 2182.

I give me a call might be home soon.Rich. In md

Maryland is a bit far for me to go. I don't need it right away.

 

[Rich Worthington]

I think about 3 & a half hours

 

[1811Cub]

Mapquest is at 4hrs 15mins. I will keep it in mind.

I have made more thn one all day round trip after a tractor I wanted. The longer one waits the harder they are to find. Get while the getting is good and there.

Does the 582 Special show anywhere in the model or serial number that it is a 'Special'?

 

[1811Cub]

Yes, it does. On CCC built units, the model number is 580, instead of 582. On the IH built units, the 582 Special ID number is 2050583U. The regular 582 is 2050592U.

Not to hijack the discussion....but what is special about a 582 Special?

some would assert that the “special”
“ain’t so.”

prrrrrrrrrrrr

Not to hijack the discussion....but what is special about a 582 Special?

They were a bridge between the 482, and the regular 582. They retailed for $500 less than a regular 582, which used the IH cast iron 3 speed HD Transaxle. The Specials used the weaker Peerless belt driven transaxle exactly like the 482, but with the underwhelming 16HP Briggs flat twin, that also powered the regular 582. They were good mowers, but were just a step above the lawn tractors.

 

[Ken farmer52]

Thank you for the explanation!

product-placement wise, perhaps more of a “special 482” than a 582 regular. marketing spin!
