Default 1872 Rebuild & Repower

I am stating this thread to document the rebuild repower of my 1872. I bought this tractor with the idea of making it a dedicated snow blower tractor and after reading CRY2872's thread on his 1872 Kohler 28 EFI Repower I decided that I wanted to build this one into my main worker tractor with a Command 28 Hp EFI engine, three point hitch, three valve hydraulics with front and rear remotes and separate valves for three point and belly lift. I plan on painting it 2150 red with a black frame and belly and silver wheels. I am thinking of having custom decals made I think I will badge it as a 2882. I will then dedicate my other 1872 that is powered by a 23 Hp Kohler Command as my snow blower tractor.
Here are some pictures of what I am starting with.

It looks much better in pictures than it really is.

Notice the wall switch that was used to engage the pto. Also has new drive shaft with disconnect clutch. Problem is he ran it much to long with bad rag joints and ruined input shaft and coupler on hydro.

It does have a new PTO clutch.

Dented and cracked seat pan. I will replace with one from parts 782.

Mag 18 that is getting replaced with EFI motor. I worked on it today. replaced the coil assy, cleaned the carb, changed the oil and got it running well. The previous owner had it rebuild and he showed me the receipts. I pulled one head and it has been bored oversize and has had the valves and seats ground. I put an oil pressure gauge on it and it carry's 45 PSI at an idle hot and 70 at WOT. I think it will be ok to put in a 782 I have with a blown motor that is to good to part out The 782 will be getting a sickle bar mower and will be a dedicated ditch mower.

Pressure washed so I can trial fit engine. Mounting plate from 1864.
Image00007.jpg
Missing bolts from rear end and damage to housings. I will replace with a cast iron rear or use rear from 1864 that has the 30mm axles. Either way I will have to swap reduction gears from the super rear end.

Old and new engines,

A second parts 782 I bought last week for sheet metal, dash plastic, grill and seat pan for 1872, and also any thing else I might need such as cast iron rear. Motor is blown and it is not a IHC made tractor. It has a replacement pto clutch and a new driveshaft so I will have some parts on it to use on my sickle bar 782. Will probably use the tires also on it. Tomorrow my grandson will be helping me tear down the parts tractor and also put the Mag 18 in the other 782. Right now I have three cub cadets and my 57 Chevy project in the shop and it is getting crowded. As soon as the two 782's are gone I can start on the 1872.
I welcome any suggestions or constructive comments.
Later
Tom

Thanks guys, I will post progress reports as time allows. Won't be long before I have to start spring planting on the farm. I hope to get the engine wired up and running before I start just to check it out in case there is an issue with it as it was a warranty engine that was repaired by a dealer.
Today the grandson and I will do the teardown on the parts 782 and hopefully I can get the Mag 18 running in the other 782, guess I better get off this computer and get busy.

HEY!
Figure it out man!! You keep posting in old threads trying to sell or trade stuff. We have sections here for that. We have told you that several times, yet you keep doing it. Your email also keeps changing. I see at least 2 different email accounts you keep listing in your posts. I don't expect an answer, because you never answer when addressed. If I didn't know any better, I'd say you aren't real...

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.
