I've started to assemble my project this week, don't know if it's going to be my plow tractor or something else, but here's what I have so far:
It's got an internal brake cast iron rear, and a KT-17 that I hope will hold together for awhile. Interestingly enough, the crankshaft and trans input shaft are in the same axis... so I can do away with the rag joint and weird clutch driver. Now I've just got to make a driveshaft and figure out a clutch hanger bracket and I'll be good to go. That and a wiring harness.
Anybody else have a yellow and white 582? I don't think I've ever actually seen any outside of this one, and this is being assembled from parts.
Also, I'll note that the frame is from a 1989 1811, and, judging from the serial number, one of the last 30 made before the cyclops tractors were introduced. Hope I don't regret fully parting that one out....
