Anyone have an idea what this is? It came off in the trailer. I’m assuming it’s probably part of the deck since that was the only really rusty thing, but I don’t see any obvious places on it where it is missing from.

My guess is that it's the chute stop.

That sure looks like it. Thanks Sam.

Found my idling/stumbling problem. I had the fuel hose pinched a little between the pump and the carb where it passes under the air cleaner housing. Starts, idles, runs like a champ now. Not even a hint of a stumble.

Mostly just cosmetics to fix now. Brakes need adjusted. I have a taillight out too.

Love my 82 series tractors, but this is an improvement in almost every way.

How did a pinched fuel hose give it a stumble at idle, but yet run fine at WOT, when more fuel is required?

My guess is that since it's a vaccuum fuel pump, it did more pumping when the engine was running faster and it was enough overcome the restriction. Started it up this morning and it wouldn't keep running unless you had it throttled way up. rerouted the hose and it idled fine.

Mostly tore down the 54GT it came with. It seems ok but enough bearings were gacked I just ordered a whole new set along with seals. Gonna do a preservative/functional paint job on it to keep it as an option for the spring.

Figured I could slap the 48GT from my 782 onto it and do a bit of mowing/leaf chopping yet this fall. Also wanted to get a couple decent heat cycles on the engine and re-check head bolts.

Got the deck hung and hooked up. It’s got the small pulley on it from being mounted on the 782 so it spins the deck a little faster than it’s supposed to.

Tractor ran perfect. This thing is a monster with that deck. Ran it at about 80% throttle even. Maybe a function of bigger tires or a little more weight or power steering, but it’s a silky smooth ride.

Definitely the most comfortable to operate cub I’ve got. Almost too comfortable.

Time to service the hydro and double check the bolts in the rear, but this one is definitely going to stick around.

Just finished a refresh of the deck.

Rebuilt all three spindles, new idler pulley, a good cleaning, rust converter, red oxide and a coat or three of (cheapish magic) paint.

Good enough for a worker.

The deck is nice and quiet and kills leaves with a passion. Super happy with how this turned out.

Now to get a blower on it...my cub fund keeps getting set back when new toys come around.

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.
