Default 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.

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

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.

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.
