Default Fixin up the 782
The 782 got some new parts and fluids. New coil, points, plugs, wires, point saver, oil/filter, hydro/filter, and 2 turbo blower fans. She is running great. Next this winter is to get the deck rebuilt and a new paint job, and I hope hydraulics for the front.

Is that a Series I or II? And I'm curious about those turbo blower fans, where did you get them and do you have them hooked up to a timer or something?

Oh yeah, and great looking machine!!

Nice lookin' 782. I'd guess a Series II going by the oil fill tube. Could've be changed out and put on a Series I though........

Yes it's a Series II, and the fans are just on a simple toggle switch. I turn them on when I run the engine for a long period of time. I added the blower fans because I use it on my puller and found them to work great at keeping the engine cool. So i thought I would try it on the daily worker. It works great after mowing for over one hour my oil temp read 151. I'm happy with that. I got them here

That is a sharp 782. If that is all original paint it has been well taken care of. If I can ever get my hands on a 782 hope it's that nice, or at least turns out looking that good. A 782 is what I learned to mow on.

Which way do your fans blow? If they blow toward the rear, they will be fighting against the engine fan.

They are blowing back, but I haven't noticed a problem.
What should I look for, and is it something I should be worried about?

Yea she is a great machine. I plan on a new paint this winter. I don't care so much about keeping it original I want it to be a worker. That being said, I would like to keep it looking as much factory as possible.

I'm sure you haven't noticed a problem. You must not have also noticed there is a fan 4X as big at the back of the motor blowing air the other way. Kinda makes those little fans pointless doesn't it?

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.
