The Cub Cadet 582 Special is a garden tractor produced from 1980 to 1985 as part of the IH 82 Series. It is an economy version of the Cub Cadet 582, featuring the same 16 hp Briggs & Stratton 655cc 2-cylinder gasoline engine but equipped with a belt-driven Peerless 4-speed gear transmission instead of the regular 582 transmission. This design allowed it to be sold for about $500 less than the regular 582. The tractor has two-wheel drive, manual steering, wet disc brakes, and an open operator station. It includes an independent front PTO with an electric clutch. The tractor's dimensions include a 44-inch wheelbase, 72 inches length, and weighs 640 lbs. It uses 16x6.50-8 front tires and 23x10.50-12 rear tires. Attachments include a 44-inch mid-mount mower deck with manual lift. Electrical system features a 12-volt battery with a 13-amp alternator charging system.
