Default Advice on removing Engine Shroud on a 782

I would like to remove the engine shroud(tin) on my 782 so I can clean it but several of the bolts holding it at the bottom are hard to reach let alone get a socket or open end wrench around. Any one out their have any tips or tricks they are willing to share to make this job a bit easier.

Thanks

Yep pull the engine. Easy way to do it is to remove the six 3/8" bolts that hold the motor plate to the frame and pull the whole thing. I pull the grill off first. Pics are from a 1872 but yours is the same deal.

I've done it a time or ten, the first time is a little intimidating, but it becomes easier every time.
It's like anything else, the more you do it the faster it goes, I've got the 100 down to 20 minuets. LOT of practice

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.
