Default Made another road trip today and got a 782

My dad and I made a 4 hour round trip and I came home with a 1982 IH 782 with a deck/blade and a Sears 3pt tiller. The PO was a retired small engine mechanic so he made some mods Ill have to fix but its mechanically sound. He trimmed the nose to make it set more upright and built a custom grill. He modified a Sears 3pt hitch to fit the 782 and its fully functional. It has cast wheel weight but I think they might be Sears also. So now I have to get busy and get some sold before the wife checks the savings account I raided lol! Here are a few pictures. You guys that know these tractors give me heads up this is my first one of this model.

Don congrats yet again! Those tillers work pretty good and do real good on the resale market if you choose to do that with it. Looks like a good job on adding the sears lift to it as well.

Congrats on the 782

Im really excited about the tiller even though I feel I paid to much $350 for it. It is in like new condition with a late model briggs that runs great. Im a little concerned about the 782 lots of PO mods I dont like and a vibration I have to find. I think im going to take the 682 and 782 use the best parts to build one tractor and sell whats left. Any ideas on the weights? I dont think they are IH Im thinking Sears

Lead, its a 38" wish it was about 42" to better cover the tractor tracks.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
