Hello all just wanted to introduce myself, I found this board by accident last week when I was looking at a 782 with an inop brake (I joined and started a post last week on the subject). Anyway I ended up buying the 782 this past weekend, needs some tlc but with help from the board here I hope to have it mechanically sound this winter, and maybe paint in the spring.

Got the brake functional...just a little adjustment. Next up is the steering, quite a bit of play in it, but I've been reading up on that so I think that shouldn't be too tough.
Got a seat on the way, needs work on the lights (blew the little glass fuse- where do you get those anymore?), and the PO had balloon tires on front, so I think I may swap those out.
Anyway, this is around the 10th Cub Cadet between my Dad and I, I inherited a 782 years ago but it was a wreck, hopefully there's something left to help this one. Dad has an 1811, 1650, 1250, 149, 147(not 100% sure on that one) 123, 122 (2), and his first, a 100. I got this 782 with a 50C deck and a snow blade, think I'm going to swap it for a 44C though, my yard is pretty small. |
