782 Series I vs. Series II question.
Quick question all:
What's the best way to tell the difference between the series other than the label on the air cleaner. I know some series I had an oil filter. Anything else to look for? Certain serial numbers? Might look at one later today and on the phone, they didn't have a clue when I asked which series. TIA, Josh

NOPE...."some" of the Series II motors had the Oil Filter provision, but NONE of the Series I had that option. Series I Motors had Spec Numbers from 24001 to 24299. Series II Motors had Spec Numbers 24300 and greater

Roland,
Thanks for the serial number info. Missed adding a second "I" on the previous message for Series II. Thanks for pointing that out. I did end up getting the 782. The good: IH built, original paint in great shape, IH hubcaps, sheet metal excellent. The bad: Series I motor. Runs good, needs carb rebuild and she's blowing oil in the backend. PO thought rear seal. Haven't had time to look yet. Pics will follow within the next couple days. Stoked to finally find a nice 782, even with the Series I.

So you found a series I that is still running 30+ years after it was built, but it's no good? Fix the oil leak, make sure it always is full of clean oil, and use it. My Dad has a dozen 82 series tractors, with over half of them with SeriesI engines. Most needed something when he bought them, but they all still run, and he never expected to be getting a new model when he bought them.

I never expected to get a brand new tractor when it was built in 1980. I have been looking for a 782 over the past couple years. Been holding out for a Series II for the fact they are rebuildable and have the filter provision. I bought this 782 with the motor it has. It was in great shape and runs good. Other than that, I don't have any problems with a Cub Cadet with any motor in it. So much for gettin' excited about finding a 782. CC1450, Thanks for the comment.

I have a friend of mine that has a 682 with a Series I in it. Original motor still going strong.

Run it until she blows and then look for a replacement engine. If properly maintained, those engines are still good for around 1500 hours,

Been casually looking for a couple years. This 782 is a gem. I promise to get pics by the end of the week. And yes, it feels good to finally find one. My wife doesn't agree. Thanks Mountain Heritage. How's your 782 treating ya?? FWIW, the Series I runs good and I plan to use it. Nothing against a Series I, was just looking for a Series II. Thanks for all the positive comments guys.

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.
