Cory, you are still lucky. Hang in there. This will work. Get out a file and flatten the top of that bolt untill you can find center. Then drill a very small hole"1/16" all the way through the bolt. You should feel when it breaks through. Easy on the pressure, broken bit is kind of bad!!! NOW flood the hole with a GOOD penatrating oil. This prosess gets the oil to the bottem of the threads. Now get a set of "vice grips set up to clamp really tight. Now before clamping them on heat the bolt with a propane torch. Yes it will smoke a lot. Now the heat will draw the oil UP into the threads at the bottem of the threads. Really helps. Now as the cold grips are clamped on the "cool"now shrinks the bolt metal just a bit. It should turn. Try just a wiggle at first. I have great luck with this method. Somtimes welding a nut on can be the next try. I don't like welding spatter around engines. Good luck, Should take about 15 min.Yup I am cheap!!!
Hi All,
I was lucky enough to buy an IH built CC 582 last week. The tractor is in pretty nice shape, but has been repowered with an 18hp Honda. The side panels and hood have been cut out to accomodate the muffler on the Honda. Anyone know of any other kind of aftermarket muffler that might work instead so I can restore the side panels to their original appearance?
Thanks for all replys....Marty

Post some pics so we know what you're starting with..It may help to see what kind of clearances you've got to work with... I'm betting that you'd better start making friends with a decent weldor, preferably someone with a TIG welder, comfortable with fabbing exhaust. It's actually not all that bad, but takes a little bit of patience.

The headlight picture is for a 70/100, and is probably not a homemade panel. There were two different kinds of retainer rings used on the 70/100's - the early ones used what is commonally called the double ring set that was basically two of the inside retainer rings and they recessed the lights in the panel. The later version used a front ring and a single retainer ring like the 1x2/3, 1x2/4 series tractors, and they positioned the light closer/flush to the front of the panel.

There is some question on whether a 482 is a Cub Cadet "Garden Tractor", although IH advertised and sold it as one. It has a single cylinder B&S engine, is shaft driven to a right angle gear box, and then belt driven from that gear box to a 4 sp Peerless transaxle. They used a belt tightening idler pulley as a clutch. There was a version of the 582, the 582 Special, that used the same drive system and Peerless transaxle, but use the B&S flat twin that was used in the regular 582. There were a couple of yellow and white versions built also (1100 by IH, 580 by CCC)
