My 782 Problem - Page 3

You could get a bigger trailer. Just sayin.

Going to the 8.50 tire will only narrow it maybe 4 inches. Not much in saving room. Keep the tractor at home, or buy a bigger trailer... or borrow one. Don't change the tire size just so you can put it in a parade. That's silly. Plus, the 782 was only offered with the 10.50's.

I don't need or want a bigger trailer. The parade rack perfectly fits on the trailer that I have.

The tractor goes inside the parade rack for transportation to/from each event. It will load with the 10.5 tires, but it is a pretty snug fit. Four inches would make a world of difference.

Now, are the rims for the 8.5 tires and the 10.5 tires the same bolt pattern?

Working on the 782.

The lever that controls the hydraulic lift is completely frozen. Are there any ideas on how to free it, or will that happen once oil runs through the system once again?

Also, the hydrostatic transmission lever is stuck as well. Is there a possibility of internal damage to the transmission or pump, or are most of those problems linkage related?

Thank you. I appreciate the expertise and input.

It's probably rust on the shaft sticking out of the spool valve. Clean it up with some emery cloth and put some PB Blaster on it and try working it back and forth.

PB and time "usually" will free it up. Take a block of wood, and TAP the lever after a good soaking.
As for the go lever, pull the tunnel cover to check that the linkage isn't bent, or binding someplace. If everything looks normal, disconnect the rod to the pump trunnion, and see if the trunnion swashplate is free to move...
If so, move toward the lever from there to find where the stuck area is.

Thanks, Todd.

This thing has a long way to go.

This is a very old thread, connected to a tractor that I have had for a very long time. I guess it is time for a progress report.

This thing has sat in my shop long enough. I finally tore it down and reduced a Cub Cadet 782 to kit form, cleaned all the parts and sent it to a painter. I should be painted this week. Upon disassembly, I got the spool valve loose and operating properly, replaced the cork gasket and changed the transmission fluid, repaired a broken dash, and freed a stuck trunion lever. I replaced the front tires, rims and axle, installed new front wheel bearings and rebuilt the steering column. I have an overhauled Magnum 18 ready to set into place.

I want to take this tractor to a show in the middle of July. As long as I have a couple of days before the bulk of the machine is ready for re-assembly, I thought I would see if I can get the engine started. Can anyone tell me how to do that with just a fuel source and a battery? I am accustomed to a wiring harness and a key switch. I don't have the smarts to get around all of that!
