Default Transaxle comparability for my 1572
Would a cast iron transaxle out a 1282 be a good swap candidate for my broken Aluminum one that currently resides in my 1572 project?

Cast iron ones will fit. But the 1282 has a different final drive ratio. You would have to gut both units and swap parts.

I'm thinking the cast rear requires a little modification to fit on a diesel.

What makes you think that? The tractors, frames and the trans are the same gas or diesel. Just different ratio's between super and non super. I think there are some issues with the fuel tank, but that isn't modifying the trans in any way. May have to raise the tank some. Seems like there are clearance issues, but they can be got around.

I have the typical broken Al rear where the bolts worked themselves loose and the PO didn't take the time to check them. So I bought a good used center section and gutted it and then this whole unit came up for auction on eBay but I don't know enough about them to just buy it. How did the IH diesels get around the clearance issue?

IH never built a diesel. The first model was the 782D and the 882 and they were both CCC built tractors. The CI will work but you need to change all the guts from the aluminum to the CI. Like the others have said, the tank will have some clearence issues. I think you will need to move one of the fuel lines from the bottom to the top of the tank. I have a 2 that I need to change over to CI because they are broken also. Good luck and take lots of pictures for us!

i have done the cast iron swap in my 1772. best move i made. just have to swap all the gears over from the aluminum to the iron. and the tank issue was much simpler then most people think. the issue is the return fuel line is on the bottom of the tank and that's what hits the rear. all i did was plug the hole in the tank and relocated the return to the side. tank fits perfect. i have much more confidence in the iron when i hook up my 600lb backhoe and go to work with it.

1st pic is the issue, 2nd is my fix, 3rd is it installed with no other modifications.

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.
