do you know of any 782s for sale in georgia

Clint, post a wanted ad, in the Wanted Items section of the site. Also check Craigslist for your area. :beerchug:

Clint it doesn't make sense to keep making these post. Follow the rules and place a want ad like Allen and I have both suggested.

My son posted this, he is headstrong on a 782. 12 years old, I apoligize for him, and gave him permeation to make a post.

He has been wanting a 782 for a couple years now, again I apoligize, and please have patience with him.... he thinks everything has to happen right now or this week, I'm trying to teach him patience etc..

I will say they are hard to come by, and when they do they are pricey.

No worries Clint. Sorry if I came across too harsh.

LOL, this cub addiction will force one to learn patience. Lord knows I have learned some in the last couple of years with them. :beerchug:

I hear ya! Same here.

here is a good example of waiting. When I first saw my neighbors 1862 I liked it and told him if he ever wanted to sell it let me know. Well that was back in 08 or 09 I think, well he used it up until early 2010 when he was having problems with the motor leaking oil. So he hired me to fix it for him and I told him what he needed and how long it would take but he needed the mower now. So I sold him a M18 I had and told him it had oil seal problems(still fighting that) So it sat for another year until he bought a 782 to do his mowing. Well about oct. Nov of last year I talk to him and he said he needs room in his garage for a zero turn and the 1862 had to go. SO I ended up with it after waiting 3 years to get it. Best of all I got it fairly cheap cause it needed to go.

782
 

This is one of mine. Just finished getting it back together. Had a blown engine and PO issues. I replaced the Kohler with a 16HP V-Twin Briggs. New paint and Carlisle ags filled with 18 gallons of windsheild washer fluid and weights. Pretty sure I'll need more weight in the front since the transplant. I would like to thank many here for the helpful advice I got through out this progect. brucer95 (son) saved the fenders by welding up some holes left by the PO from what looked like cab mounts or canopy holes. He also made a new debris screen for the underneith.

That's one heck of a save there! Great job!

Ditto!:beerchug:

Great job on the 782!

Front weight
 

Thanks guys for the thumbs up. I built my front weight bracket today using some scrap I had laying around and the rear tip from an old mower deck mule. I hung one 75 pound weight on the bolts to give you the idea. I made the bolts long enough for two weights but I don't think I'll need it. That's a weight we used to use on the 560s back when we plowed with them. Thought it would be a good idea to build it modular so I could use it for a tool box or grille guard.

Good work on your weight bracket!

I like it too!

That weight bracket looks awesome.

Had to move the fleet around so figured it was a good time to take a few pics of the kids.:biggrin2:

Great family pic Sam!

Great looking fleet, Sam!

Oh, yes!~
 

That Line-Up would surely make me JAM-ON the BRAKE'S & Turn Around for a second LOOK !!! Very Nice Sam.

Now that is the way to improve the look of an already awesome looking home. :beerchug: Awesome looking fleet of cubs.

I've finally have a CCC cub to post here!

Some video's and some pics! For some reason he only wanted to make circles around the garden.:bigthink: He's now driving around the whole back yard!

That thing looks good...needs a cat 0 plow off the back. Looks like Evan has another one and dad is left with the Scotts again!:biggrin2:

Nice looking tractor Duke! :beerchug:

Duke

I think Evan is going to be a Nascar driver, he has the left turn thing down pat. LMAO :biggrin2:

Sam

That darn Scotts is all I have any more it seems.

Thanks Sam!

He does love his left hand turns!:biggrin2:

Sharp 1864, Duke! Evan sure likes to go fast! Thanks for the pics and vids!

Thanks Allen! Evan took the hose to it today and got some of the dirt off.:biggrin2: I got some pics and a video but have to download those still. Adam did stop on by and take it for a spin to make sure it was worthy of his fine fleet. He liked the one finger steering.:beerchug:

Looks good Duke, looks like Evan is pretty happy with his new tractor!!! Tell him I said congrats :biggrin2:!!

I'm not coming off this one. He'll have it some time after I'm done with it.:biggrin2:

He did have fun washing it today!

The video! I couldn't get him to shake the hose like he was before I started making the video.:bash2:

If I were you I'd only clean the deck with compressed air, and only wash the tractor with the deck off. That's a great way to rust out the deck.

Matt I figured that. I was able to get all of the water off the deck so there wasn't any standing water on it.

Thanks for the pics and vid, Duke. Evan is enjoying cleaning his new tractor! :biggrin2:

Oh yeah, a young man cleaning on his Cub. A wonderful thing. :biggrin2:

Congrats on the 1864, Duke! :beerchug:

His cub!:bigthink:

Thanks Conner!

My cubs
 

Finally got a pic of the 3208, also one with the 1211. The 3208 has my 48" deck hooked up right now.

Good looking cubs!

newby
 

New to this site, new cub owner. Was looking for a new mower and knew I wanted a GT, came across this 1872 for $1250, 54" deck (originaly 60"), 54" blade, around 400 Hrs on a new engine. Has the original literature folder containing every receipt for anything bought for or done to it (original owner), including the original invoice - 1/27/90,$5199. Second owner wasn't as thorough, but obviously took good care of it. I've spent the last week reading this site and I must say, I am impressed, hat's off to the administraters and all the members who are so helpful. Since I have been reading the site, I know better than to post without pics, so here ya go;
Guess I should say a little about me, I'm a recently retired (34 yrs) sheet metal worker (Kansas City) living on 3 acres in a rural community just south of St. Joe, MO. That's my best buddy ever on the tractor, my 8 yr old grandson.

:Welcome2:

Nice looking 1872!
