You guys, I swear!!! I knew as soon as I posted it I should have LIED! I never should have told you that I had a complete 2072!!, I should have just said I had a bunch of 2072 parts!

Needless to say, you've got a good start, so you can't go wrong! Let's see some pictures of that 782!

Here's an old one before I replaced the seat, and gave her a good polish.

782 Sub Super! WAIT!!!!

782SS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thats IT! 782SS!!!

Thanks CADPLANS!!!!!! :beerchug:You rock!

All of this talk of "Sub Supers" is giving me flashbacks from the last guy who built one. Let me just say that this place is a better place without him!

I have to agree with the guys on here, after using a 1811 ( a lot like a 782) for a while I kinda got tired of how it steered and using it on hillsides due to the wheelbase. After getting my 982 ( with manual steering by the way) I was impressed with how tight it steered, and really liked the extra stabilty it offers, they are bigger,but if you run a 50 in. deck anyways you won't notice, and I found an extra foot of space to store it :biggrin2: So if you can find the room, save them both!:beerchug:

Please keep the drama to pm's. We've moved past that drama years ago no need to bring it public again.

Began disassembling the 2072 last night. Here are a few pictures.

The most disturbing discovery was the fact that all of the motor bolts were gone. There was one left, but the ear it attached to broke off of the engine. I guess the exhaust rubbing on the grill should have been a tip off?

Thanks.

No green stuff here, (1) red, and (1) yellow & white. End result will be red!
