Well I decided to pull the pin and order the replacement Vanguard from Small Engine Warehouse. It "should" be here by the end of the week...
Just not in the mood to deal with everything that's needed to bring the mag back up to "right", it's tired, leaks out of every gasket and seal... Thought the heck with it, life's to short, live for today and be happy
Hopefully this will help

It'll be like a new machine! Is there some kind of an adapter kit you have to buy along with the engine to make it all work?

No. I talked to a member who has done the swap, and it's pretty much a "bolt in". With a few things needed, but nothing major.

That where I was at with my 782, then the 1772 popped up for less than what the repower kit would have been, so I went with it instead.
(I know I am an anomaly around here, only wanting to have 1 tractor and all! LOL!)

Ol George got my 782, he is a much better wrench than I am and he is still not sure why the oil pressure is fluctuating.

I loved the sound of the opposed twin Kohler, when it is up to full song, but I was working on it too much. I work 6 / 7 days a week, when I need the tractor to run, it needs to run. Not need this thing needs tinkered with, or crap it's low on oil or ..................blah blah blah

I'm sure when I retire, I'll keep a couple more around, just not right now.

Todd,
Will be watching this re-power work your doing. Yea that engine looks to have some issues in regards to oil leaks.
Keep up the good work on the Cubs!
Regards,
Chris

Cleaned up the firewall as well as the battery box by sanding and wire wheeling then adding some paint...
Then the big white truck showed up with a box for me! Small Engine Warehouse delivery.

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.
