Default Saving a 1982 Yellow & White CCC 782

I acquired this Y/W 784 about a month ago when picking up a 1641. Both were headed to scrap, so they threw in this tractor. Sitting 10-20 years (owner got it in the same condition I did), it has the original KT17 Series II.

I was curious why it still has the IH S/N/Model # system, despite being CCC produced in 1982 (I surmised from the 142 in the model).

782 142 U
700455

My immediate plans are to rebuild the carb (once a kit shows up) and see how she runs. Intake manifold and carb were off when I got it. Fuel pump runs good, and I replaced the lines/filter. Engine being somewhat apart I had assumed it threw a rod like most KT17s like to (I had that experience with a Series II in my 1711, too), but it has good compression and doesn't seem to have any extra holes.

I did have to get a new front tire, and found a matching Turf Saver to compliment the other side. Short term plans are mounting some R1 Goodyears I picked up and adding a sleeve hitch that was destined for the 1811, but seems like a better fit on the cast rear (saves $80 for the Xtreme tabbed ear U hitch).

Jeff should have a Brinly adapter shipping out for me Monday, so outside of fabricating a lift rod to match the one on the 1711 I should be good to go on both of those aspects.

An aside, Rustoleum transport yellow seems to match the Iron Guard I used on the 1811 wheel weights last fall (and goes on a lot better/thicker). If it were a bigger project I'd look harder for Rustoleum Marigold.

Some pictures of when I first got it (on the trailer) and how it looked tonight.

Thumbs up

That is a super early CCC tractor-probably has the Brownsville Tenn address on the tag, instead of Cleveland, OH.

Yes, exactly! Thought that was neat. Cast rear too.

Almost seems too early to have the Series II?

The KT17 Series I were installed in Chassis Serial Numbers below 726124.

The KT17 Series II were installed in Chassis Serial Numbers above 726125.

Obviously, almost all the Series I have been replaced due to failures. They are a rare sight today.

Thanks -- it would seem this has been replaced. I saw it has the holes in the tin and blockoff on the block for the remote filters...I wonder if my M18 spare ones would bolt right up.

I sold the conversion kit I had back when my other Series II launched a rod. Certainly this one shipped with a Series I, then, but must have been replaced before Magnums were a popular replacement.

The Series I is not rare. There are 82 series cub cadets all over the internet for sale, and not for sale, that still have the Series I in them.

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.
