That's what I was thinking it was. I'll get into that more, tonight....maybe? If time allows.

They say a picture speaks a 1000 words, so to save a 1000 words, here's a picture of the throttle.

Throttle.jpg

Part # 17 is the throttle lever that sticks through the dash opening. Part # 18 is the cam that controls the throttle speed via the throttle cable. Part # 19 is the cam that controls fuel shut-off via the shut-off cable.

Put a set of the rear end braces on it from Xtreme and forget about it, problem solved. Or pull the rear, replace the front adapter housing and still risk breaking it again. your $$$$$ and your tractor.

I agree with Sam..

Use the braces and you don't need those front bolts...

I put a set on my 1782 and it feels like a different tractor... stiffens the whole frame tremendously.. you can't feel it twisting anymore and my front mounts weren't even broken!

Nice tractor and nice work!!

Yeah, that is what I plan to do. I just keep thinking I want to also brace the frame rails side to side, right at the area where the front of the diff attaches? A cross brace? If that makes sense?

I may be over thinking it, I usually do.

I have been focusing my time / resources on getting it where it will start without having to jump it of off my truck. New ignition switch / relay / glow plugs and the solenoid upgrade hopefullty will put that issue to bed.

Thanks.

Nice tractor and nice work!!
Thanks!

Hopefully I will get a few minutes to work on it this afternoon. I would like to finish up wiring the solenoid upgrade for the glow plugs.

My 782 has the cat 0 3 pt rear, I plan to switch that to the smoker. Then put the tins pan back on.

Resisting the urge to order some paint and repaint all the tins.

It's a nice tractor, be cool to have it all repainted and shiny!

The tins will be fine without the paint. But, I sent my Kohler tins to JetHot many years ago. They still look great and no corrosion. Kinda expensive for the JetHot coating, but a nice product.

On your rear end braces:
Stop trying to "overthink" them. This is the first one you've owned. Trust that Sam Mac, a guy who has owned and rebuilt SGT's for years has taken all the "thinking" out of it for you. You need not try to redesign, or come up with a less $$ idea. The braces are simple, and effective. You need only to buy and install them.


On the rear cat 0: The GT and SGT hitches are different. You will have to make changes for it to work.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
