Score!
After having issues with 4 out of 4 of my tractors, the last being the 147 puking hydro fluid when I finished mowing on Saturday, I was more than a little disappointed. Mostly due to the fact that I have very little time to fix or tinker with the Cubs. I could already hear my wife complaining about these old machines, so I quietly stuffed them back in the barn and got cleaned up.
Had to go to my nieces first birthday party where a ran into a friend of mine I hadn't seen in a while. We got to talking and I started going over my multiple tractor issues. When I finished complaining he asked if I wanted another "project tractor", I immediately said yes! (I'm a glutton for punishment)
He wasn't sure what model exactly but it was a cub, his father gave it to him a couple of years ago but he already had a zero turn so its been sitting in his barn for 2 or 3 years. I stopped over to take a look the next day and it turned out to be 782!
We pumped up a tire and dropped some fuel in she fired right off and drove onto my trailer. Looks like it'll need a little deck work and he thought there was an issue with the PTO ofter she heats up.

Looks like I have to study up on these new-fangled mowin machines.
Not bad for free
