Cost of 782D?
 

Anyone happen to know what CCC got for the 782D when they were new?

Thanks

John, the 1811's went for around $5500, the 1812's around $5800 and I think the 1512's were a few hundred more. Why someone wouldn't pay a little more for a motor that is 10 times better than an air cooled pos but I think diesel's had a bad name for themselves in the 80's. There is a blue book on tractor cost at TSC that will tell you the price when new.:beerchug:

I bought my 1572 in 1998. It is a 87 model. It was bought new at the dealer where I bought it and I saw the original invoice and it was 9500.00. My dad bought a 1811 in 1988 and it was 4400 and a 1966 102.

I just got to thinking. My neighbor had a 782D that he bought used in 1985 and I think that he paid 5200.00 for it. I used it to mow his yard.

I don't know what the 782D cost but I know that my uncle bought his 2182 for $8900

I'll continue feeling guilty for paying $350 for my 882. Having owned it for a few years now and the benefit of hindsight, I'd have no problem giving $2k.

:Wave:

Dang, you stole that thing! :OMG: :biggrin2:

I gave $500 for 1990 1782 the msrp for it was around $8000. I'm sure mine was more because it had the 60in deck.

I can tell you're consumed with guilt! :-)

Keeps me awake at night. :D

The funny part is I didn't know much at all about GTs, it was my first Cub and I was all disappointed it wasn't a 149! The lady listed it on CL as a Cub Cadet "lawn mower" so I snuck in under the vultures without knowing what I had, lol.

I hope you get that 782D, it's a real dandy.

I did get it and I love it!
