What Engine does my 782 have?
I was changing the oil in the Cub Cadet 782 I purchased last month and noticed the air cleaner says Kohler series II on it when I do know that most of these came with the series I engines. I am basically trying to find out if this is the original engine with a series II air cleaner on it or if it is a replacement engine? It does have the block off plate with the two allen bolts on the front right hand side of the engine. The tag on the engine says the following-
Model- KT17S Spec. No. 24302 Serial # 2232904076

No, that's a replacement engine. Tractors in the neighborhood of S/N 724,000 and below had series I engines. The series II is a pretty good engine. There are two things I'd watch for though. One check the oil before every use, because if either the fuel pump or carb develops a problem, the crankcase will fill with gas. For the same reason, it's a good idea to add an inline shutoff between the tank and fuel pump. Sometimes these engines will drop the governor gear, but there isn't really anything you can do to prevent that.

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.
