I have the procedure for the 1864
1 remove right foot plate.
remove hydraulic cylinder,
remove/replace rock shaft.
reassemble.
thats it.
Not sure if the shaft will work in a 782 as it is a whole different setup.

I know it can be done, because I installed one on them 1541 when I converted it to an 1864. The trouble is a did this 15 years ago, so I don't remember how I did it. You may have to remove the drive shaft.
Spreading the frame rails is a bad idea in my mind, unless you only need a small amount of room to do the job.
I only need like 1/16" more clearance to get it out. I might actually just pull the deck lift arms in a little bit to get just enough clearance to get it free.
I have literally everything removed in that area, the tractor is just a bare frame with a dash and the rockshaft on it. The rockshaft is the last thing I want to remove before the rest goes in the scrap pile.

Can you post a pic of the shaft showing what you have removed?

Got it out... You have to turn part #8 toward the back of the tractor and then rotate the whole rockshaft as far back as possible and then lift it out of the top of the frame. It doesn't have enough clearance to go out the bottom and barely clears the top of the frame rails.

If I could kick myself in the balls, I would, for wasting the few precious moments of life that I have left reading about your foibles on how to remove a rockshaft.

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.
