Dad bought a mower.
My dad taught us to mow the lawn and take care of machinery before he taught us to drive. My nephews are 9 and 10 now. He began looking for a hand hydro mower to leave at the farm buildings for the boys to "get started". He has a zero Tank SZ which they can not reach the foot pedals. First he was after a nice looking 1641. But that did not pan out. I sent him a couple of Craig's list postings to look at. A 782 w/ 50" deck was one of them. Turned out to be a mower a friend of his once owned for some 30 years. She smokes a bit but he bought it right. Got it home this morning. Has front hydraulic outlets. The original owners family has the manuals and will get them to him. The KT-17 Series II has alot of crud on top near the oil fill tube. 1552 hours. Runs pretty good but smokes. I am concerned about the engine. Rest of machine is in better than average shape. I am interested in any and all advice on the engine. We are not small engine repair gurus. I have already told him to think repower by way of a donor.

That is a very nice 782 with the front hydraulics especially. Although not reccomended by Kohler above 32 degrees try running some 10w-30 through it, should help cut out the smoking, did that for years on an old allis mower

Nice machine in very good condition. Determine what is causing the smoking before considering a re-power. If you must, I would run with another KT-17 Series 2.

The 782 with front hydraulics (784) is kind of rare. But I have one and it is one of my favorite tractors.

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.
