Why does my 782D have a lean?
 

I've been working on my 782D....new oil filter, fuel filter, fuel lines, air filter, light switch, PTO switch, etc. Still have to figure out why the PTO won't stay engaged (have to hold th switch in the up position) and it's not charging.

In spite of that, the tractor runs great!

I do have a question...why does my tractor lean (or sag) on the right side?

Here is a picture:

As a bonus, here is a video of the 782D running (with other Cub content)!!

Are the tires the same size? Is the air pressure the same? It is hard to tell in the picture. From what I can tell, that is a good looking 782D.

From the picture, it looks like it isn't sitting on level ground.

Also, check and make sure all 6 of the rear transmission mounting bolts are there, and tight. Some of mine weren't, and would let the tractor sway when you would open the throttle. :beerchug:

It's level and the tires/pressures are the same. I'll look for missing bolts tomorrow. I LOVE the way this thing runs. I'm thinking of selling, though..... I just don't use it.

Thanks for the vid. The diesel sounds awesome!

I put the rear in a Cub one time, tightened up all the bolts and noticed a lean!!

I loosened the transaxle bolts, twisted it straight, and retightened. Problem was gone!!

....BTDT.....:ThumbsUp:

Selling it :bigthink: I wonder how close it is to Pickens Sc and if I can beat Todd to it!

looking at the brick wall behind it. it looks like the right rear tire is shorter then the left.
