    My 982 refurb project

    Hey Dennis, You are welcome. According to the production tables mine was built in June of ’80, S/N 20595U670158. I am at least the third owner of this machine, so I have no idea if the Onan is the original. I have no particular reason to believe otherwise. I have not looked into the...

    My 982 refurb project

    Hey Dennis, Sorry it has taken a few days to get back to you. I pulled the tin off of my Onan and this is what I found. No “mystery” line like on yours. I looked at your pictures again and I can’t quite tell where the end of the line is attached. It looks like it is attached...

    My 982 refurb project

    Hey Dennis, I agree with the others, it looks great. I will take a look at my Onan when I get home tonight and see if I have the mysterious rubber hose. Question for you / others... I have read postings about grommets used to seal up spark plug hole in the sheet metal on the Kohler...

    My 982 refurb project

    Dennis, Your project is coming along very nicely! Thanks for taking the time to take and post all of the pictures. I recently bought my first cub cadet, it too is a 982 with some off the same issues. Having good reference pictures to look at is great. I had even more slop in the...

    Douglas, Welcome to the forum!! Sorry to hear about your troubles. Have you tried taping / knocking the starter relay with the handle of a hammer or screw driver? I have had several get stuck over the years on my former off topic mower. This seemed to happen more often when the battery...

    Don, I think you are looking for a shoulder bolt / screw.

    My 982 had a nut and bolt holding the fan on when I got it. I replaced the shaft during the U-joint upgrade, when I did I put a spring pin in to hold the fan. In hind sight, this may have been a mistake. Upon instillation of the new shaft set up I found that the fan gets in the...

    Mike Patterson – hang in there, these guys will help you get it running again. I’m sorry that I personally don’t have anything to offer you other than IMHO if your funds are limited, don’t take it to a shop yet. I bet they guys can coach you through the mechanical issues. If it turns out that...

    Nick – Thanks for the info, mine must have been remove, as I know I didn’t have to do anything special to close the hood. Kind of a neat idea, I’ll have to think about making one when things calm down in my “repair department” and I get some seat time in. Dennis – That trailer is really...

    Nick – Thanks for posting those pics! Not at all what I had in mind. Is it attached / retained under the hood some how, or do you just have to remember what ya did with it?

    Dennis – Mowing is the primary task mine will face. Really looking forward to using the Haban 60”, should be a real time saver over the 42” off topic machine I have. Not just seat time, I waste a lot of time fixing or replacing broken items. I am curious about this dump cart you have. Did...

    Hey Denis! I was wondering where / how such a thing would attach. I don’t recall seeing anything that looked like an placement for a “prop stick”. Never had mine shut on me either, but the hood has been off most of the time I’ve owned it. I use a bungee cord to hold the hood up in the...

    Hey Denis, I didn't know there even was a hood support. Mined doesn’t have one, the parts look up doesn’t show one. Sounds like a good idea, the hood on my "big" off topic tractor has the same type of dent in the hood from hitting the grill guard the PO installed (poorly) on the loader...
