All you will need is the front axle and the spindles along with the PS valve and hoses. You will have to do what I did and weld on an old straight shaft to the short PS valve shaft if your other mower has a tilt wheel. Do it before you reassemble the tractor that you are saving because it will be a whole lot easier.

Yeah, that was the reason for buying the 2072, to get all the nessasary parts to switch the 782 over to power steering.
Once I had the 2072, I thougth "What the heck!" May as well add all the other "super features" that the 782 lacked. Such as the dual rear brakes, and front hydro ports.
But no, niether tractor had tilt stering, pretty straight forward swap. I will need to alter the lines running back to the hydro pump, but no big deal.
Biggest drawback now is just finding time to be in the garage, working on it.
