A ratty one owner 782d followed us home
My wife and I made a trip up near Flint Michigan to do some cub hunting. This ratty 782d followed us home. The hood and side panels are in the back of my SUV. Her late husband bought it new and her grand daughter listed it for sale after she got a new ZTR to mow with. Even have 3 of the plain hubcaps, missing one front. Runs nice but a real bear to start as none of the mods have been done. So got some mechanical updates to do before a cosmetic refresh. First up will be the extra ground strap, gear reduction starter and glow plug system upgrade with 3 new plugs. Grill and headlight panel are a bit of a mess, wish I knew who was doing the custom grill with the rectangular sealed beams that looks like the Ag tractors the 82 series was styled after. We loaded her under her own power with a big battery from a larger compact tractor to get it started.

Adjusting the valves first will help on the hard starting, so will the other stuff you mention.

The valves have nothing to do with hard starting on the Kubota diesel powered cubs. It has to do with an undersize direct drive starter and a limitation on how big of a battery one can fit in the proper space. Been on ongoing battle since not long after Cub Cadet offered these for sale. The newer gear reduction starter fixes the starter issue. Redoing the glow system so that the high amperage does NOT go thru the key switch, then the glow indicator on the dash before it gets to the plugs is the other major change. Feeding the glow plugs a full 12v instead of 6-7 volts after going thru the stock set up, allows them to get hot fast, saving battery power to crank the diesel. This is especially important in cold weather.

Yeah I did all that on my 1512, adjusting the valves made it start faster with less cranking.

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.
