Default 1782 re-furb

Got a chance to do a little on the 1782 today. Pulled the engine out, it will be getting gauges to go along with the factory idiot lights. While the engine is out I will clean and repack the CV joint for the steering. The fan belt was on the verge of breaking so that is getting changed. I relocated the sender for the high temp warning to the head from the thermostat housing. Then I drilled and tapped the T-Stat housing for the temp gauge. Got lucky on this one, every bolt on the exhaust manifold came out with no problems. Not nearly as easy to work on the smokers as the air cooled gassers but not too bad. Iā€™m not going for a total restore at this point more of a do what needs to be done project.

Sam,
Do you have a post on here that details how you do the gauges? I saw a picture on another post, but I would like some more detail. That gauge setup sure looked like a professional job. I finally got mine running and the proper wires jumped so it will start correctly, now it's time to improve. If you want to send a PM to me instead that would be fine. I understand that maybe you can't post details on here, but as far as I'm concerned, if I screw something up it's may fault even if someone else showed me what to do. I guess I look at it as being my choice to modify something and not like they made me do it.
Thanks,
Geoffrey

I'm going to use a set of Sun Pro gauges form auto zone they are only about $30 for the 3 oil pressure, water temp and volt meter and they are mechanical. The Cyclops are challenged for space so the 1-1/2” gauges work the best. I did 2” stuff on my 2182 and it was a PITA to make them fit not to mention the cost. I can put them just above the boot for the steering column like I did on my 1641. Just one extra hole. I don't have a good pic of the gauges installed but this pic shows the 2 holes I cut with a hole saw on the 1641. The tower is hanging from the gauge holes in the pic. The 1782 will have 3 holes.

I had a nice relaxing day, would have been nice if it was a bit warmer. No rush on this one figure it will be a while before the grass needs cutting and even at that I can tough it out and use the 2182. Yeah I know it sucks to be me. LOL

Nice job Sam! If I had as much talent as you do in one finger, I'd be dangerous!

As always, good work!

I don't see any insulation in the walls.
Is the shop not heated either?

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.
