I'd be checking the engine and radiator mounts. Looks like the radiator is too high, or the rear of the engine is too low, causing the radiator to raise. Use your eyes, take the side panels off and look it over. Do some measuring if you need to. You will likely find the issue.

Thanks Jonathan, I never thought of the engine height as part of the problem, but in fact, the engine cradle also mounts/holds the radiator. I'll scope things out as soon as I get a free day.

The radiator on a 1772 is thicker than all the D600 radiators causing the spring to do that.

If you look close at the side panel spring holes you can see the difference on how the spring rides. Of course I have mine jury rigged with a piece of wire.

So, did the 1772 not use a spring to hold the side panels in?

Frank, my 1772 is the same way, and I also wondered how the original spring is supposed to be installed. For now I have two smaller springs with a wire in between, and do not have the issue of the side panels alignment.

As far as I know, all the 82 series used the spring. Partstree shows it too.

CNH-320 - Thanks for the info. I was also thinking of checking the springs out at McMaster and getting 2 springs also, one for each side and running them from the center brace to each panel. I wanted to know in the forum if something wasn't quite right with my 1772 and causing the springs to be routed the way you see them in the pictures I uploaded.

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.
