782 grill
 

I took this tractor apart a year ago. Took photos, but didn't take enough.
How is the top of the grille secured?
A photo would help a lot.

It's held in by 2 long springs that run down to the bottom of the grille housing.

Thanks olds. I'll look for the springs.

Grille retaining springs
 

Hi can you take a photo of those springs and how the attach. I just bought two new oem springs as mine were long gone. The ends if the spring is different on each end. I dont want to force them on the wrong way.

The end that is square goes on the grill through the holes ,the udder end attaches to to holes at the bottom of the grill housing,see olds pic.

Would this be the same for an 882 as well?

yes and you don't need fancy oem springs, just light duty screen door springs from your local hardware :ThumbsUp:

Ok great ill give it a try. Btw I paid $8.00 a piece for these dang springs plus $ 4.00 shipping

Ouch!!
:beer2:

An alternative is to use shorter springs attached from the top corners of the grille to one of the multiple holes in the top, front corner of the side panel. Been using that method for years and works well.

Only drawback is that when both side panels are removed, the front grille will need to come out as well.
