Default series 2 kohler kt17 ?

Since I'm not having any luck finding a super I'm looking at a yellow and white 782. This is the motor it has in it, is it a good one? I could've googled it, but it's more fun to ask here!

Also, I want this mower to cut thick, tougher grass around my ponds that's tough to access with a brush mower, will it do the job? Will it work well with a blower? My only Cub experience was with the 100, so this will be a little new.

Thanks!

OK so I might be a bit biased, but yeah the 782 is a great machine. The series 2 engine is what everyone looks for. It has an oil pump and most will have an oil filter. The engine will handle whatever you give it. I Love mine.

They are a good motor.I just got 2 782 basket cases over the winter a series 1 and a series 2.The meter on the series 2 reads like over 2500 hrs the key probably was left on more than once,The po said they both ran.I got the series 2 going in a day no smoke,I think this is the original motor on the tractor,by the way I do mean basket cases the floor boards are so rusted you can move your feet and see the ground.Not bad for a 30 year old tractor,and didnt spend a dime to get it going.

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.
