Only after I paid the previous owner the $150 asking price. Said it would not start last spring, took me less than 2 hours to fire it up. Crankcase was over full, drained and filled to full mark. Gas tank had real bad gas, drained and filled with new gas, installed a good battery and it fired right up. |

Err, Being a noobie I have to ask the question "What's the Special mean?". Is there some non standard stuff on the tractor? Or is that just a sticker that someone added? -Ray |

I belive the only thing thak makes it a special is the fact that it has a 4 speed pearless tranny instead of the standard 3 speed tranny. |

Willy: There were two 582's. The 582 and the 582 Special (or 582S). The difference is dramatic. The original IH 582 had a B & S motor with the traditional rear end. Then when CCC/MTD came into the picture, there was the aluminum rear end. The "special" had a Peerless "transaxle". So, the 582S had a B & S motor and a Peerless transaxle which was a big difference from the original design. |

http://www.wheatfarm.com/ih_582/index.html Scroll down about 3/4 of the way down and you'll see the funky belt drive rear that makes this 582 so "Special". Scott |
