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.
