Default 782 power steering

After getting used to the power steering on my Supers I sure would like to put P/S on my 782. I'm pretty sure there is a thread on here about doing just that.. But I can't seem to find it. Or if anyone has a list of parts I should be hunting please let me know.. I'm thinking I need the parts from an 82 series super.. I know the rear cylinder bracket is different on the GT's.. Any help appreciated.. I'd like to buy all the parts as I can find them and have everything in hand before I start the conversion.. Thanks

Can't help you out Jay, but wish you luck in the conversion anyway.
BUT, I can tell you, if you want easier steering, and don't want to go through the "conversion", buy a set of the Firestone tri ribs, makes a big improvement.
Hey, I think Tom, farmall fred did a power steering conversion. I THINK SO anyway...

That, and do a Steering Column upgrade. See.... http://www.onlycubcadets.net/forum/s...ead.php?t=4631

I agree with Todd, I have the Firestone on my 1211 and it steers with one finger.

One of my 782's has a setup from a 2072 super GT ( I bought it that way)
The other 782, I hung a super steer cyclops axle under it, a column from a 318 Deere and a cyl from a 345 Deere.
I made my own hyd lines from 3/8 brake line.
Did the same setup for my 1650.
They are quick to turn, and a pinky finger operation. (1-3/4 turn, Left to right.)
(super steer axles, raise the front of the tractor just shy of 2") FWIW.
Thats my story and I'm sticking to it.

Just sell the 782 and replace it with something with PS. 1864's are sweet!

Easiest with a GT donor(1864 or similar). Brackets work better. Few guys by me have done the PS to their 782d's.
I am thinking of doing it to my 782 also. 350-400$ is what the local cub guy said for the whole setup.

Sam,

I sat on this 782 in 1980 in the showroom at the local IH dealer... I was 9 years old.. I begged dad for a "RED" one.. he said we had to wear the yellow 1450 out first.. A friend of ours bought the red 782 a few days later.. we are still trying to wear out the 1450 but I did manage to buy the same tractor from the friends family a few years back... So i can't ever sell that one!!

I have grown to like the cyclops tractors though! I wouldn't be opposed to another one!!

Thanks Terry! That does make more sense to use stuff made for the shorter GT frame!

Thanks guys for the suggestions on the Tri-ribs... I may give that a try! Always good to hear first hand experience!!

It doesn't steer hard now.. just got spoiled with the 1782!

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.
