Default 782 cab!!!

I just got the restoration finished. Still working on the 1a tiller, have not started on the Haban thrower or plow yet. Deck is finished as well. Question is, should I leave the cab on all year round?

In my opinion, a Definite no, leave the cab to Uber and checker.
They are hot, noisy, and usually get in the way, one way or another.
I have a 782 with that very same cab, mine is heated and a winter dedicated tractor with a QA42 thrower.
Now if this was a modern sound guard cab, on an AG tractor, that is another story, ---but it is not.
Just my solicited opinion. BTDT others might disagree.
If you are only going to show/parade the tractor, yes leave the cab on as well as the thrower or a blade.
While throwing snow, you will love the cab much!
It is the cats meow, especially if you heat it.

EDIT:
Keep the red canvas out of the weather or it will fade and look like flat orange paint.
The plastic windows will clean up using plastic polish on an orbital, not a fast rotary wheel.
Do you have the wiper? they are very handy in winter..

The cab can be very awkward when working around a wooded area

If you are mowing, then your visibility will be improved without the cab. It will also allow you to look around as you mow for potential hazards that may lead to safety of others, other people's property and your own equipment. It will also allow you to keep that cab in better shape, and it already appears to be in really nice shape!

BTW: Nice job on revitalizing your 782. It is a remarkable improvement.

Go ahead and scratch the paint all up taking it off and putting it on.
Your call....
You are the one that will have to decide that, what I or anyone else thinks does not matter!!

If you have a Spot to store it ,
That is not in the way,
You need to pull that thing off.
And use 303 protectant on that canvas

Just my 2 Cents

Nice Cab!!!

Any recommendations for where to get the decals made? I have a place somewhat locally that might be able to. But it would be easier to just email the pics and measurements of my old decals and have them shipped.

Thank you, i spent a lot of hours. Every bolt is new grade 8. Every pin was replaced or welded and filed back to proper size.
I went through the engine. It was an m18 replacement in it that seemed pretty low hours by the condition of the pistons and cylinders. But just enough hours that is did not get the valve job at the recommended 500 and got ran past that and burned a valve.
Luckily i found some nos parts to replace them and it is a great engine now.
My main goal was not to make it look good, it was to stop the rust. Remove it and protect the metal. But yes second was making it look nice. I now have a machine that should last as long as i live.

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.
