The exhaust shields from an 1863 are on. I will remove them to paint them high heat black. I drove it for 30 minutes, and all went well. The new seat is comfortable.

The perforated steel grille insert has been cut out, painted and bolted to the grille shell. I know this early design grille was recalled due to debris clogging the grill, but I like the looks of it. I won't be mowing too much with it, and it will stay clean.

Here is the material I started with. Was just enough to do this grille and the grille on my 1282.

I replaced the dry rotted and leaky front tires and wheels with original repainted wheels and tires from a 1989 1050.

Think you have a gem here. Why? No evidence of rear pto, which, I think, wears stuff out.

I don't believe that rear PTO was available on the 582. I am familiar with them on the 982.
 
582 with a rear PTO is pretty rare. I have seen pictures of ONE in 20 years of messing with these things. And it certainly wouldn't wear the tractor out since there is very little you can do with the gear drive's rear PTO.

So, two identical tractors, one used with rototiller on a family farm for twenty years, the other mowed grass. One bounced , lurched and juddered around whilst ground-engaging with the tiller while the other lived in peace. Both for sale at the same price, I'm buying the one that lived well.
Cheers, Jack

Tiller on everything but a super is not run off the rear PTO. There were basically no attachments made to use the rear PTO.
