Got a 782 today from Craigslist
 

Well finally found a local guy selling a Cub Cadet in my price range.
Runs good, no rust, no smoke,paint is a little faded but all parts are there i think.......

engine= KT175 8252206
Deck=03200200155581

Nice looking 782!

I had to resize your image it was to large.

Thanks for the pic! Looks to be a straight ole 782. I was wondering what was up with the hole in the hood as well. At least they did a nice job making the hole and didn't torch it out. Wheel weights and Lew's favorite seat..........

Nice 782, you have there.

Easy way to check the oil!:biggrin2:

Guy I got it from said it was for a large air filter. Which makes sense being that the hole in right above it.
But for 500.00 delivered I think I did pretty well...cleaned it out today and it looks alot better than I though.

Quick question for you guys.
I have a Troybilt/Bolens plow 14079 with the sub frame 14078 can i fit this plow with out much modifications?

@ndre,
I think I saw that one on Craig's List. If I remember correctly, the asking price was more than you paid. Good luck with it.
I am down in Westchester County, near Croton on Hudson. I think you are the closest person to me on this forum.

Yeah he was asking 750.00 for it, would've had it for 400.00 if I picked it up Sunday but I don't own a truck.
Yeah you are about 30 minutes from me. Drive down to Westchester everyday to work.

There are two guys on this forum who are not far from you and probably have have just about anything you want/need for the 782.

Post in the wanted section and you should hear from at least one of them soon.

I think I'd stick a hood scoop on there to cover that hole, and just let people wonder...:biggrin2:

I don't think I remember seeing that one on craigslist. Andre and Flatbed, I'm right in between you guys in Orange County, NY and I work even closer to you Flatbed in Rockland County (all over rockland, UPS driver). I too just picked up a 782 in Newburgh. Has a series I which I thought was seized but ended up just being stuck. Well she looks great and good luck with her! :beerchug:

I can't remember if it was Hudson valley or New York Craig's list. It was up for a week or maybe even more.
Maybe we could do some kind of Lower Hudson get together?

I looked on craigslist and the 782 is still on there, millerton i think. Did either of you get the free 782 from Connecticut? I'd be willing to get a NYer get together

I missed the free one. Probably a good thing I did too!

Yep that was the one....
former DHL driver here myself.
I get together would be pretty cool.
