    Starter engagement issues

    Well,I robbed an original Cub Cadet starter off of a parts 682. No more problem.

    Nope. I'm thinking sloppy tolerances in the aftermarket starter bendix. Caliper batteries were a mite cold so I couldn't get a measurement. I do have an old starter I pulled out of a 682. It's either IH or early CCC. I know I never had this problem with that 682.

    It does make a grinding noise as it skips. Gets progressively worse untill they barely touch and flywheel remains stationary.

    IH versus CCC built quality

    The serial number tag should say International Harvester right on it. If it's unintelligible the IH tags were smaller than the CCC tags.

    Cub Tiller and gearbox with all linkage

    If I didn’t already have one I’d be on my way. Less than 100 miles for me. Looks like everything is there.

    54" GT deck on 882

    I think I may have figured out why I needed the longer belt. Because of the Super Steer and 26” rears my deck hangs lower relative to the tractor. Further from the mule drive. I also had to use longer deck hangers to drop the deck down into position.

    54" GT deck on 882

    I ended up using a Napa “B83”.

    54" GT deck on 882

    Yes,I did. Well, I took one from a 44c I had because I didn’t want to part a decent 50c.

    54" GT deck on 882

    No. But thank you for putting me on the right track.For some reason I needed longer. Napa did the exchange no problem. PTO pulley must have been bigger. Came with the M18 engine I guess.

    54" GT deck on 882

    Finally finished this project. The GT 54” deck is definitely worth the trouble. Blows grass out the discharge like a forage chopper. And still leaves a very nice cut. Floats much better than the 50c. Which is nice around rough farm stead mowing.

    Starter engagement issues

    My original post highlighted and a edited for brevity. I didn’t ask for fix or a diagnosis. I asked if anyone else had seen this issue with Cub starters.

    Starter engagement issues

    The contact pattern on the drive teeth is perfect.

    Starter engagement issues

    Nothing like that. As stated previously the bendix extends and turns. It just has excessive clearance at the flywheel which prevents it from engaging. It spins parallel to the flywheel teeth without catching. It’s as if the flywheel were undersized. Except it’s not. The bendix will engage...

    You are over thinking this. There is slop in the bendix’s action. Resulting in it not engaging AFTER a couple starts. This started as an inquiry as to any one else have quality control issues with these starters.

    Starter engagement issues

    When the bendix gear is parallel to the flywheel it’s fully extended.

    54" GT deck on 882

    Next issue: Drive belt. My 782/54” GT deck project is done like the one in the pics above. GT lift linkage pinned to the old 82 series mule drive with the 44/50c deck drive pulley. Now the belt slips. Not enough take up in the mule drive pulley adjustments to get it all out. Shorter belt perhaps?

    Starter engagement issues

    No pics or video. Changed phones and I’m not versed in this ones media quirks. It’s pretty straightforward. The bendix extends to the full extent of its travel and just spins in space with out engaging the flywheel at all.
