new addition to the family...diesel
 

After months of searching the i finally found a 1772. i picked up this cub yesterday in MD. its only got 735 hours on a working meter. it came with a 60" habban, which will need a bit of work. the tractor is mostly in good shape. i will be doing a full service, some painting, new decals and fixing up some wiring that's a bit ugly. After i got it home i took it for a spin around the yard then i decided to park it and look over the engine. Ironically that's when the fuel pump decided the quit. i did notice the fuel pump is after market and looks like it was an off the shelf gas unit. so, ill be getting a new OEM fuel pump and new fuel lines. all in all i still a very happy with the new addition.

Nice find and looks nice also !! And low hrs. also !!! :beerchug: A diesel Super is on my want list.

You might check the lift pins that the deck hangers attach to , i bought two gas Supers that had the 60" decks on them and the pins were wore almost half way thru. I had to grind the back side of the pins off and knocked them out and welded bolts in thier place. I guess the weight and the bouncing up/down of those big decks are hard on the pins.

Congrats on your super smoker, Ken!

What he said! Nice looking Cubota:beerchug:

congrats on the 1772:beerchug:

thanks guys

the deck did seem to lift up kinda strange, further inspection revealed that the right side pin isn't even in the mount. it doesn't seem to be worn out so hopefully i can just put it back in. now off the to get me a fuel pump...

Congrats on the 1772. They are nice, I cannot wait till I get mine going.

so the fuel pump had to be ordered, will be in tomorrow.

as i was cleaning 25 years of dirt off of it i notice one of the bolts from the frame going into the axle shaft had snapped off. i tried to get a drill in there but cant with the axle in. so it looks like ill be pulling the rear out. another bump in the road.
