Finished pulling the hydro valves and control levers of off the 2072.
Then pulled the steering column, sanded both assemblies down and painted them. I need to get those installed on the 782, before the motor goes back in. I need new black rubber tips for the lift levers, this tractor sat near a house fire, the rubber was a little bit melted.

I've never used it either. My grandpa had some a few years ago, but it kinda slipped my mind until lately.

As for the switch over, I see you're well into it, but it just seems to me if one were to go to all that trouble and expense it would be more reasonable to fix the 2072. I'm a recently new owner of an 1872 and have several flower beds to mow around, the power sterring and the hydro makes it an easy task, I personally have never driven a 782, but I can't see it being any more maneuverable.

This 2072 was very, very rough, it was way more work than I wanted to spend. The 782 was / is a real solid, low hour tractor, that I let get low on oil. My bad. I also have grown very fond of the 782, as I said earlier my only real compliant with it is the steering. I was looking for the pieces to upgrade the 782 to power steering, when the 2072 came up. As good as it looks in the pictures, it is a parts tractor. Heck the engine was just sitting in it (as in not attached), and the P.O.s were using it that way  The only remaining engine bolt is holding on a mounting tab, that broke off of the cases.Can it be fixed? Sure, just more effort than I want to spend, when the 782 is very close, to being whole again. But really, you want to know the real truth as to why I parted the 2072 out???? Can you keep a secert???? Ok here it is.................the 2072 is not RED LOL!!!!!!!!

Power steer that brute
Heck man, you already have the PS parts on the other tractor so all you have to do is install them. I added PS to my 1811 and cannot believe how easy it is to mow around all of the shrubs and flower beds my wife seems to throw in my way. All you will need is the front axle and the spindles along with the PS valve and hoses. You will have to do what I did and weld on an old straight shaft to the short PS valve shaft if your other mower has a tilt wheel. Do it before you reassemble the tractor that you are saving because it will be a whole lot easier.

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.
