My grand dad had one of those garage kept all it's life my father gave it to me and sadly it sits out in the woods he put it together right but parked it because he thought he put it together wrong and gave it to me that would be a fun restoration bring back memories of mowing with it.woupd have been fun to mow golf course with it this summer.
Being from 83, that should be an MTD built model. If the serial tag says Cub Cadet, then it's an MTD. They bout Cub from International around 1981 I believe and continued to make the red cubs for a few years before changing them to yellow and white. Maybe not quite as good as an International built cub, but still a fine machine better than almost anything made today.
I am looking for wheel weights just like that can you tell me any information on them. Also complain to YT because there is a lot of your video and comments that are covered over by fricking ADS! Screw YT!
The IH part number for that weight is 351371R1 , there are lots around as they were also used as front wheel weights for several popular models of larger tractors.
Not true on the point of the oil and on a hill. I own one from new in 1985. I currently have it on the bench replacing gaskets. Has an oil pump that’s around 5 psi and the sump is on left side in the very bottom of engine case. On the side the dip stick is on there is an oil galley plug to hook a pressure gauge to.
You've got yourself a Keeper there!
Engine sounds fantastic and the finish looks just as good!
Nice job!

Yes you are correct it’s a CCC
Looks great
Series 1 or series 2 engine?
Doesn’t look like it smokes at all, that’s pretty rare!
Usually they are beat to crap and all need a replacement engine!
It’s a series 1 and as far as I can tell , the original. Hoping it’ll continue to run as good as it does as long as I keep the oil changed.

Yes that would be a series 2 KT17, the series 1 which the earlier 782s were equipped with did not have the pressurized lube
