Took a JD 345 to the JD shop and found this.
 

It was to late for pics tonight but I'll post them tomorrow afternoon. I took this 345 to the JD dealer for my neighbor.

I was wearing my cub 50th hat and was giving the service guy a hard time about the JD not wanting to start. He asked me if I knew anyone that was looking for a red IH cub and I sure I may know someone that will give it a good home. After waiting all week for pics I followed him home and was very happy with what I saw. It's a one owner and his grandpa pasted away in May and he collects big tractors and had no need for it. He was getting ready to list it on CL but never got around to it.

He said his grandpa replaced the engine with a Onan out of a 982.:bigeyes: I popped the hood and it's a clean install. We had to jump it off but it fired right away. I took it for a spin and had to load it on the trailer. I stopped by the car wash and rinsed the dust off it and I'm digging the shine on it.:beerchug: Evan had to sit on it and he's digging it as well. We'll see after he takes it for a spin tomorrow.

I don't have the full serial tag but here's the serial number, 678905. It's another red 782!:beer2: I got a small peco trailer vac and the 782. The only way I could be happier is if it had a D in the model number.:biggrin2:

Pics to be posted tomorrow afternoon.:beer2:

:TTWWP: sounds like a great score!

You dog, making us wait till tomorrow to see it, what's up with that:bigthink:
Good score I guess. But we wouldn't know, no pictures it didn't happen:biggrin2:

Sorry fellas someone turned the lights off on me.:biggrin2:

Congratulations on the neat find. Looking forward to the pics. Man you never know what will happen when you break down and contaminate your trailer with green. I believe the cub gods were so sad they had to steer you right to that find.

Congrats on the 782 score Duke!
Can't wait to see the pics!

Good things happen when you go Green :biggrin2:

Good things happen when you have green on your trailer and it turns yellow.:biggrin2:

Thanks all!

Here's some frosty pics. I'll get some more of the engine compartment this afternoon.
