Has been so rainy last few days I haven't been able to get much done. But UPS arrived this evening with a package I have been waiting for. A box with two new shiny 8 inch hubcaps for the front wheels on the 782. I have 10's located for the back, just have to get those ordered in a couple of weeks. Now my decision is whether I want to keep the 8's on the front or go with 6's and make it look old school hot rod style and have only the very center section covered instead of the whole wheel? Should I show pics? Maybe tomorrow I might, LOL.

Oh I forgot, no, these don't have IH in the center.

Default workin my 782

Loaded the big red one on my trailer,My sons grass got away from him.For starters a 50'' deckwill fit on a 5x8 trailer but its very tight,Took it off to cut some grass and the fun began just got the pto working and couldnt wait to try it. grass was almost knee deep blades were dull belts were worn it cut but deck was all the way up.First we stopped to sharpen blades,then back to mowing was doing ok but belt was so worn I had to run the throttle up high and drive kinda slow.Then all the sudden a pop and she got louder , went and looked in the grill the end cap blew off the muffler.So I got back on and started mowing again it was about a minute later when I saw the smoke,and next thing I know the wife came running over and saw flames, seems some oil and old debris ignited, nothing a half a glass of water couldnt put out.So back to the shop to fix the muffler and clean the top of the motor.Back to mowing, cut a couple of passes and the pto stopped working, by this time I thought maybe give the old girl a rest,but no its a Cub Cadet it cant just die in the yard,well at least not the front yard.After trying to get the pto going with no luckI started to drive to the trailer,I had to flip the pto switch just one more time.Seems the Cub Cadet Gods were watching the pto started working again,so I made one more pass and told my son he could finish up if he could keep it going,Well I called him after dark he got the yard done without any more problems the 782 is now resting comfortably at his house,He also named it "The Beast" now I have to find a way to get it back from him,I think he has gotten a touch of yellow or in this case red fever.For a while I think he thought I was crazy but now I think he understands.

Thats a great story! But don't you hate it when the gremlins all come out to try and kill the beast? Happens to me too! Last time out was flawless, uneventful. Hope your next time is also!!!

If the pto continues to cut out randomly it could be too big of air gap. Also check your connections.

Got to do some mowing with the 1811 again today. Also got to put on my home made bumper/weight bracket for it! Now its starting to look like the big boys out in the fields. Just need more weights now. And it keeps the grille from being knocked out when i put it in my truck bed against the tool box. First pic is when i was geting it set right to drill the holes in the bumper to mount it to the frame. Second it just after i get all three bolts in place and tightened down. And the last pic is when i put my weights on. Realy proud of this piece!

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.
