IH 782 repowered with Mag 18
 

Ok I really thought I was going to send this early 782 to GA but still having sellers remorse over selling the last IH 782 to Allen. I talked to Todd and and started looking for a replacement engine for the 782. Adam sent me a CL link and I was able to get a Sears 6000 GT that has a good running Mag 18. I've pulled the Mag 18 and got to pull the blown KT 17 soon. The blown KT 17 will be going to Todd in GA.

My plans are to have a working PTO in case I ever need it. The Sears had a brand new electric fuel pump so I'll use that as well. At some point I'd like to add a rear lift to it but that will happen some time later. I also plan on trying to get some shine back into that IH red paint!:beer2:

Here's some pics of what I'm working with.

Looks good duke! Both of our latest pickups have had blown kt's. I'm guessing your's was a series I, mine was a series II

Good luck on the repower, buddy!

What all needs to be redone to rewire this to the 782 switch? I want to use the fuel pump off it's toggle switch hidden under the hood so it's a nice and clean install.

The 782 is missing the tins around the muffler what tins do I need to locate for this conversion?

Thanks!

Thanks buddy!

What Allen said Duke!

Thanks Mike! See I do have some pics!:biggrin2:

Unless the pump would require a ton of current i would just run it off of the same circuit as the coil if it is power hungry you could just use two relays and a extra power lead higher gauge wire from the battery to feed the coil and fuel pump circuit using the original coil circuit to trigger the relays. I think that's a bit complicated and unneeded really.

I'll leave that part up to you.:biggrin2:

Nice 782 Duke!:beerchug: Tins from a 1811 or just about any GT that style with the mag should work for around the muffler.

Hmm Here's some pics of it.

Thanks Ben! The sears has little short tins on it.

Looks like a great project. That is going to be a nice set up when you get done!

Duke

I like your idea about using a toggle switch for the fuel pump. Nice thing about going that way is that you can turn the pump off and let it run out of gas so you don't have gas sitting in the float bowl to go bad. When you are ready to run it just flip the switch, let the pump fill the float bowl and light her up. The 2182 has an electric pump and I just turn it on for a few seconds before I crank it, hit the starter and it lights off right now.

nice work duke:beerchug:

Thanks Don! I think the red fever has me now.:beerchug:

Thanks Sam! That's how the sears was wired up and I like the idea of running all of the fuel out of it when I shut to down. No worries about filling up the crank case.

Thank you!

I have the Red Fever also, buddy! :biggrin2:

Seems awkward seeing Duke and Allen in red!:biggrin2:

I'm just waiting for the day Duke takes a ride up to Galax and trys this one out. It will ruin him for life.:biggrin2:

Ain't that something, Mike! Now I have Yellow and Red Fever! :biggrin2:

I think that is awesome Allen!
I like to see when the fever spreads to others!:beerchug:

Same here, Mike! Since Jenn took the super, I can get more, right? :beerchug:

Allen

This is the trade ratio
6 Narrow Frames = 1 Super
5 Wide Frames = 1 Super

So your all good to go Buddy. :biggrin2:

Ok got side tracked watching The Game yesterday. I have one last engine bolt to remove. It's the one under the starter.:bash2: I'll get it tho.:beerchug: It had the engine replaced with series II. I guess some of the PO's replaced the engine at least twice.:bash2: The blown engine is going to Todd in GA.:beer2:

The wiring harness is dated Sept. 1979! I took a pic of it but the flash went off and you can't read it but I'll get one without flash today.:beerchug:

On to the pics.:beerchug:

Blown KT series II and the MAG18 that's going in it.

Sam I like your math LOL!

YES!
Get lots more Allen!:biggrin2:

Looks good Duke!
Get that thing done Slacker!:biggrin2:

ROFL

I still need to figure out what if any thing I need to do to wire this up.:bigthink:

Duke

You have been on OCC almost all day. I know because about the only thing I did today was watch the Formula 1 race and check what was going on here on OCC and you have been on as much as I have. Turn the computer off and get your lazy butt to work. It won’t fix itself. I'm sure Roland can send you a wiring diagram. Or you can haul it up to Galax and in a couple hours it will be running. If I wasn’t waiting for parts I would have the rear finished for the 2182. :biggrin2:

I like your thinking, guys!

Allen

You noticed that Duke is now signed off ? LMAO :biggrin2:

You gotta have your OCC time, buddy! I sure do! :beerchug:

:bigeyes: It's not running yet??? Time to crack the whip. :biggrin2:

Gotta feel for Duke :beerchug:

Man no love for a slacker today!

So you got it running right? :biggrin2:

Ok got off OCC and my butt and got this done today.

Forgot to take the sears pto off:bash2: Notice it's only held on with 2 bolts. This the IH pto

I had to pull the drive cup that goes with the sears and put on the cub drive cup. I've got to do the wiring and install the firewall. I'll clean the gas tank as well.:beerchug: Install the battery and take it for a spin.:beerchug: Once safe I'll let Evan break it in for me.:biggrin2:

I'm thinking about putting the KY breather on it to make it look more like stock.

I like the breather idea , your like me. I'll get to it , when I get to it.
