Dedicated 782
I picked up this 782 last year pretty cheap. Dad came up with the idea of using it to tow around our 15 gallon trailer sprayer. I went one further and decided to permanently mount the sprayer to the lawn mower. We go in way too many tight, cramped, and otherwise unfriendly places to bother towing a sprayer. I don't like the factory booms so I picked up what I need last night from TSC to switch it over to 2 or 3 flat fan nozzles, I'll replace the boom itself with angle iron. So far I "trimmed" around the houses and farm with 60 gallons of Roundup. With all the rain we have been getting there are a lot of weeds to deal with this year. I got plenty more to spray still. Working on a engine issue as well. Machine is very stable, if you get crazy/stupid you can make the front end pop a wheelie with a full tank. If I ever find that becomes an issue I'll add weights (or a blade) to the front. FWIW, our land is NOT flat. I crossed a couple ditches yesterday where the front end went to full travel and still lifted a wheel off the ground. No plans on making this "pretty", this is all about working and getting it done. I ain't got time to worry about driving through mudholes or getting scratched by tree limbs.

Looks good John, gonna be a handy piece of equipment.
Always wanted a small front mounted quick attach boom,for poking yer nose in areas that are hard to get at, or spraying a gravel driveway where you are not looking back over your shoulder all the time. |

that's a nice rig, my pops been wanting one for sometime just like that to spray all his fences. The only caveat is it has to be an IH 82 series, he's not interested in the yellow and white, even though he's got a 154 cub lo boy. He's tried unsuccessfully to buy one of mine. I keep looking wherever I go to find one but I hate to part with the red ones when I buy one and add to the fleet, I've even brought home a few red ones that were CCC and it was a no go for him when I show him, cant say as I blame him. Very nice useful machine there, I'm assuming its hooked up to a sleeve hitch?

John,
I have had that idea for a while now.. just never got around to doing it... glad to know it works! The flat fan nozzles work well... way better than having a boom to deal with! This pre built setup from Fimco works very well.. I have a friend that has one on a small 3 point sprayer.. fully adjustable pattern and you can cut individual nozzles off for spraying only one side.. works great around ditches and fence rows! http://www.agrisupply.com/fimco-wet-...FUE8gQodpNACEg

No hitch here. I bolted 2 pcs of 2"angle iron on the side of the frame. I used an existing hole on the rear but had to drill another ahead of the rear axle. 3/4" treated plywood is the base for the sprayer. Nothing fancy, just functional. I may install a longer hose on the wand. If I have a lot of irregular areas to do, such as around the house, then I get my son to drive. For around the farm, I drove and sprayed with my left hand, hydro on right--works well. Pics of the red paint.

I've got a good selection of old nozzles, probably use 8003 or 4. TSC carries a lot of accessories for these types of sprayers, think I even saw a manifold so you could rig it up to cut off individual nozzles or do multiple booms (a little much for a lawn mower). I even saw a tow type sprayer there that was 50-75 gallons. Built like a scaled down farm version with an electric pump. Nice looking rig for something like a SCUT.

I'm in the process of building one of these too. I ordered an A-frame for my three point hitch from Extreme and going to build it off that. I wired in a 12 volt plug on the back and a switch on the dash to operate it. I'll upload some pictures when I get a little farther along.
It's been so hot around here lately it hard to get anything done, besides what has to be done. Plus the governor on my 129 went out so I'll be tearing into that too. |

I've seen Dad rebuild quite a few of those old John Blue pumps.. He worked for a Farm supply dealer in the 60's 70's and 80's that had a bunch of those old ground drive pumps running.. he had a test stand and knew just how to set them up... good pumps! Send us some pics of the framework under your cub sprayer tank... id like to see how you supported it.. I'm guessing you have some angle braces back toward the bottom of the rear axle? Just curious.. now that Ive seen this you have motivated me.. I have several cubs sitting around doing nothing!

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.
