Starter and electrical upgrade has been performed. It cranks a lot better now. I used 2 AWG for the positive cable. I cleaned all grounds. The 40A circuit breaker looked crusty, so I cleaned it for now, and ordered a new one. I also replaced the oil pressure switch with a new OEM Kubota part. The O.P. light still acts the same. Next is to remove and inspect the relief valve.

Well I found the culprit. The pressure relief check ball was missing! I pulled the insert out of the housing and all that was there was the spring. Three local dealers did not have the 11/32" steel check ball on hand-said it would be a week before they would have this 23 cent part. I had the idea that these steel check balls are commonly used in older auto transmission valve bodies. So a search yielded the info that a 11/32" steel check ball was used in Chrysler 727 Torqueflites. The local transmission guy had one on hand, and didn't charge for it. So I installed it, and replaced the oil filter. Just cranking it over to start it, the OP light went out and stayed out. I ran it for a few minutes, and no leaks or oil lights. A dash mounted gauge is on the to do list. The image below is the of the new check ball after I reassembled it.

That's an amazing rescue and I'm glad you found the culprit.

I have a 782D and it's my weekly mower. They're really nice rigs. Starting is always marginal with the small batteries but you've done the best you can about keeping Mr Ohm at bay with the upgrades.

Tomorrow's project: Clean and repaint the exhaust heat shields. Is there a source for the decal? Looks like the ones on my 1050 and 1811.

The cold starting woes are gone. It started almost immediately with the new glow plug relay, and updated NGK glow plugs. I eliminated the resistor in the dash. Also completed replacing the 40A circuit breaker, reproduction battery cover with new hold downs, and refinished the muffler heat shields.

Thanks to fellow board member CubDieselFan, he hooked me up with this faithful reproduction of the diesel specific battery hold down cover. I made the steel rods from a hold down kit commonly available at Advance Auto Parts, following the factory drawings.

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.
