i dont think its ever been off
Wel I decided to go ahead and remove the kt17 from the 782 while I'm waiting on the oil seal to get here. Just to do some cleaning. I don't think this thing has ever been off none of the bolts looked to be touched or anything and it defiantly looks like 33 years of gunk built up a lot with a 3 year oil leak adding to it. I got the old putty knife out.and I bet it was a half to 3/ inch deep in some spots. I might.tear it down further to do some more cleaning... The hydro pump looks as if it.dosnt even have cooling fins on it. I snapped acouple pics. One of shortly after I got the engine pulled after I scraped some stuff off and found a bunch of corn on the frame rail. In the " clean" pic you can see the pile of junk off of the axle crossmember .. its nasty.. and that factory.red is Purdy what's the oddest think yall have found laying in the years of gunk ?

Looking good on the cleaning.Most times I remove most of the crap from the years of abuse.Then I power wash it.
Sometimes I find the screws for the points cover. Found a head bolt and washers. One time I found a whole nickle and went to the candy store on my bicycle and bought some bazooka gum...

Lew,
I have a similar story about money in a Cub. I was cleaning and re-wiring my 124 this summer. It was pretty rough, needed a good cleaning. got it all wired up, cleaned the carb, etc. Turned it over and got it chuffing a little. I heard a BANG against the shed wall. Didn't think anything of it. Turned it over again and it fired, and two more loud bangs against the wall. I walk over to the end of the building (a good 10 feet from the tractor) and it turns out it was a nickel and two pennies that flew out of the muffler....

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.
