I too have a 782 that was given to me from a neighbor. Looking forward to when I can get it going. Great work on yours so far.

Most connections were rusty. The wires inside the harness looked old, even though the wiring harness itself appeared fairly new. Looks like a project the PO was in the midst of when he passed. Hard to say w/o any history.

As you can see, the plastic dash will need some repair.

Does anyone know if the plastic knob on the end of the hydro lever pulls off or is threaded? Need to remove it so I can remove the dash.

EDIT: Just looked on Parts Tree. Appears the knob is threaded onto the lever.
Pretty sure the knob is threaded

I'd be tempted to hook a gravity feed bottle to the carb and bust that M18 off to see if it had any weird noises or smoke?

Looking good! I'm jealous... wish I had time to tear my 782 down and refurb it... it's getting a little tired and old looking.

I sat on it new in 1980 sitting in the IH showroom

Keep up the good work!

jaynjeep: I did put a gravity fed gas tank on it. It's in the post on page 2 of this thread (see video link). The Kohler M18 ran good enough to cause me to think of keeping, instead of replacing it.

Thanks for the comments.

I'm enjoying following the progress regardless

Did a little work over the weekend. Got the rest of the tractor disassembled, so now can concentrate on cleaning.

Pulled the axle tubes and discovered a little water and oil mix, about a pint each side. Not sure if I'm going to drill the drain holes in the tranny case or not.

Pulled the flywheel last evening. Was curious more than anything as to the condition of the stator. My suspicions were confirmed--a lot of grime and dirt. Will clean and start reassembling to paint the engine.

Fun times.

The PTO switch was a rusty mess. Disassembled, cleaned and put back together. The time clock was the same, but when cleaned and applied power, nothing doing. Will get a replacement.

Got the stator removed and cleaned up. Degreased the engine and painted it with Ace Rust Stop BBQ paint (1000 degree F). Also painted the exhaust, intake and muffler. We'll see how long that lasts (probably not long). Painted the oil dipstick handle and flywheel IH Blue. LOL, why not?

Have the engine shrouds to paint tonight, then on to the red sheet metal. Looks like I have a little welding to do on the trunnion corners.

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.
