I just got one this past summer and I am ignorant about them. I assume that you are looking for an IH one (earlier model). They would be red and the earlier models of them had red rearends and the later models had black rearends. The 782's had a hydraulic lift on them, which is very helpful on lifting implements (snow blowers, tillers, etc.) and some of them had dual hydraulics on them (port on the front, too)--more exclusive to the diesel ones, I believe and those would be marked as 782D. I missed a lot.....sorry and forgive me if I have given you any incorrect information, but that is what I believe to be true. Someone else please come to my rescue and provide more advice for our member....

One of the biggest things is if it has a series 1 kt17 in it, as they are known for having bad lubrication, especially on hills. Here are some serial numbers:

Series I were installed in Chassis Serial Numbers below 726124
Series II were installed in Chassis Serial Numbers above 726125

Other than that they don't have much that goes wrong other than the rag joints and a few other things. Got any pictures?

You could add a rear lift to it.

The series 2 is a good engine, As it has full pressure lubrication. Check the rag joints and replace if needed, change the oil and filters and you should be good to go.Great options are ag tires and weights, they make a world of difference with traction, and depends on what you want to do a cat.0 three point.

Sort of. The lift bar and the way the yoke mounts are different for the x82 series. The lift bar on a 782 is straight and the yoke mounts with frankenstein bolts instead of a bar. Also if you have the aluminum rear end, you would need a special lower bracket.

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.
