782D hydro compatibility
 

my 782d once i got it started last weekend after backing it out of garage and letting it warm up it wouldnt move. very slight ticking noise and nothing leave lever in gear every minute or so it would try to move. when it did try to move ticking noise went away finally got it back into garage jacked it up and left in "gear" and after a while all was fine. took tunnel cover off saw rear coupler in not so good of shape. dont think thats the problem but needs to fixed none the less. coupler is kind of sloppy on hydro end. if im gonna fix another driveshaft i would like to do a cv conversion but i need a splinded hydro. i could spend hours trying to figure out what model numbers will cough up these parts but im sure you guys off the top of your heads can rattle off model numbers of the tractors i need to look for. what model numbers have a compatable hydro unit that will bolt to my trans and have a cv style shaft? have read the posts about the conversions and want to go that way

I have pump adapters that will fit your pump along with the adapter for the engine. The issue that may be problem is that the CV shaft will need to be shortened for a 782D. In order to do this a section in the center will need to be removed, then it will need to be welded back together, the weld will then need to be turned down to the 3/4" diameter of the shaft and a sleeve installed over it with the sleeve welded to the shaft to make sure it stays straight. The 1863 shaft just happens to be the correct length to fit a 1772 or 1572.

Thanks sam have been thinking bout stretching my frame in the rear to make it a 782d super problem is I think there is something wrong with my hydro so i want to upgrade to a splined input unit, cv shaft, power steering, front end loader, foot operated hydro and such want a 982. but any close by are too spendy for me (read my wife) is an 1863 what im lookin for or do other models have the splined input?

AFAIK, the 1000 series and up had splined hydros.
