Time for updates! The big brown truck brought me some 3/8 hydraulic line, ferrules, and nuts, so I got my lines bent up and installed. They're not as pretty as MTD's, but they will do the job. I also sat the freshly painted engine in, on the old mounts, and the dipstick tube was extended with an adapter, since the 2082's was way too tall. I'm going to do some more tonight and tomorrow, but now I'm waiting on the new motor mounts and a large Kubota parts order, among other things.

Looking good!:beerchug: Brown truck good!

What Mike said!

What they said! X3

Looking great! :beerchug:

J-mech I separated my front and rear hydraulics on my 1782. I bought a used cylinder like the one it comes with added a valve in the dash, and plumbed it. The added cylinder is mounted directly to the rock shaft in the back. I cut a hole in the frame rail in the back to allow cylinder room and made a box out in the frame with a piece of quarter inch wall square tube with end caps . The setup works great . Though it took time to figure it all out I'm really glad I did it

Looks good:beerchug:

Nothing like a good build project and getting to build them how you want them to be with all the goodies that make you happy.Great job.
