DON T. - Frt tires look good!
Do You mind telling what brand they are? I assume 4.00 X 8's. I need frt tires for the two old Cubbies. I had something "Different" in mind but I guess I'm finding out why nobody else has tried it either! Just something I'd wanted to do for about 40+ yrs.

Thomas Bower very observant about the pressure spring. I started with the new one from the kit and when I took the clutch apart again I could see it was permanently bent so I reused my old one. I imagine that I must have bent it by over tighening my turnbuckle trying to get the clutch to release. Here is a few photos of the bent pressure spring and the adjuster gauge. I am confident I am using the correct gauge, but am still thinking the friction disk is to thick.
Jim Larson thanks I went out and verified the basket pully is right up against the engine. Also the the bearing is almost flush with the end of the shaft if anything just a little away from the shaft.

While on the topic of front tires, I was wondering what a good front tire would be for pushing snow. I have a 1450 with the wide front tires and when I am trying to turn while pushing snow I have the turning radius of a super tanker (I think I could turn my Excursion around in less space). Dad has a 149 with narrow front tires (I know a strange setup, but it was that whay when he bought it 30 years ago) and it will turn fairly well. I mow with the 1450 also and do not want something that will distroy the yard. Any suggestions.........
Dennis F the tires that i took off were cracked where the Cub had sat for years i think. So the triribs were the replacement .They are deestone 4.00 8 4 ply Made in Thailland .Bought off ebay for $45.00 i think. Later Don T
Scott, they have a Vredestein 5 rib tire that would work and also a Firestone 3 rib tire that would fit your rims. I've heard both work very well. You could put on front ags like what I'm using to push snow with, but I don't know if you'd want to use them mowing.
I pulled the rear plate off my 982 and have some questions. First off, I was surprised that I didn't find any globby gel like I thought I would, so I'm wondering if the fluid was the correct stuff. What I drained out is very dark red is it supposed to be?
Second question is a two-fer.
Is the gear that you can only see the top of, part of the pump? The oil level is slightly higher then that gear so I thought it was what pulled the fluid into the pump. And what is that little spline sitting above the rear end?
Thanks

Everett, that "what's this" is just the hydro pump output shaft, not normally used but could be used for a rear PTO. Here's a fluid flow diagram to help you make sense of the hydrostatic system (note that this is from the Cub Cadet 123 hydrostatic system service manual so there are some subtle changes from it and your 982). I don't recall Hy-Tran being red, sounds like someone put automatic transmission fluid in your Cub.
A couple detail excerpts to help you see.
Thanks Kraig, That's helpful. I'll have to see if I can come up with the one for my tractor, I doubt it's much different but would be nice to see.
Now I really don't know what's wrong with my Cub.
As I mentioned before, when I run it at low RPMs it drives around fine, but under full throttle or any kind of load I get a chattering that I can feel in the speed control lever. I checked all the Spirol pins connecting the drive shaft to the engine and they are fine. I was hoping to open up the rear end and find lots of gel that would be clogging things up, but that's not the problem either. I'll get it back together and hope that it was just bad fluid causing the trouble.
Is there anything else I could check or look for?

I had an 1811 that did something similar to that, and it turned out to be a clogged filter.
