Looks good bud, glad you got it back home and just in time for nice weather :beerchug:

Based on pic number 3, great taste in mowers and colleges!:beerchug:

Thanks Ryan and John!

You got that, right, John! Tarheel born and bred! :beerchug:

Even if we did leave the dance early this year! If some (most) of ya'll don't understand its OK, its a "Tobacco Road" thing.:biggrin2:

That series style always makes me think of the Mack Truck Bulldog hood ornament.

Looking good there Allen.
Glad you got it back and running great.

Thanks guys!

That's right! :beerchug:

You removed the power steering? Why? Thought that was the "perks" of having a super!:bigthink:

I decided to get rid of it. It drives nicely without the power steering. No more leaks, and I'm happy with it.

Yep...I am very glad that my super is home again. Now it's time to get to work in the yard. I am ready! :biggrin2:

You mean MY super! :biggrin2:

Looks like it was a SUPER day at the ranch:beerchug: Glad you got the 1872 back home Allen, or Jenn..... you two will have to work that one out:bigthink:

Looking good Allen, glad to hear its back and running good for you again.:beer2:

Good to hear Allen!:beerchug:

Whoa, glad my spouse isn't CC crazy....there would be a fight on our hands!!!
Alas, methinks I would lose. :crap:

Now that is the look of a HAPPY Man!:beerchug:

Just one question, why didn't rebuild the power steering?:bigthink:

Also, where are the front hydraulic couplers???

Sam, I decided that I'd rather have the manual steering. I'm happier with it that way.

Randy, they are gone. I only have single hydraulics now. I never needed them anyway, I don't have a Haban blade. I'm happy with the way the 1872 is set up now.

uhuh.....

You just wanna get like this...

soooo....paint it red, slap some 982 decals on it and call it a day! you already got the cast iron rear in it....be a nice look for it next to the 782!

Randy, it actually steers very well. Wouldn't hurt to get some more muscle though! :biggrin2:

That's true, Shaner!

Glad you got the ole girl back Allen. Did ya keep the power steering and front hydraulic parts? Hope so. You might wanna convert it back someday and buying that stuff piece by piece can get pricey.

Thanks Josh! I traded them for the complete 982 steering set up. I'm enjoying the 1872 as it is. :beerchug:

Arm power steering !
 

:bigthink: I like your fix , now U go to the gym work on the Bi-cepts , :biggrin2:

I actually thought my 982 steered pretty good as well. However, With the engine out, I decided to try my hand upgrading to a thrust bearing. It's a different steering setup so some machining and a different bearing were required. I posted a thread on it if you ever want to look into it.

So, what's this one going to be used for, mowing, trailer towing, intimidating your neighbors green machines?

Glad the super is back Allen! :beerchug:

Thanks guys! :beerchug:

John, it will be lawn sweeping, pulling my cart and trailer, and plowing.

That's neat that you and the Mrs. both enjoy Cubs. I cant seem to get my wife that excited about them! Glad you got it home!

Thanks! :beerchug:
