First CCC machine
 

Well guys I picked up my first non IH tractor. It's a red 782 without a engine, but in great shape. I plan to put my 14 horse out of my 1450 in it for now. At least until I can find a suitable twin. Any thoughts or suggestions on the swap. What do u think would be needed here are a couple of pics and of course I had a little help getting the barn fresh off of her.

Congrats on the 782! Looks to be in good shape!:beerchug:

Nice find there cubby102! Looks like you've got plenty of help there getting it ready for the new engine! I love seeing kids on and with tractors helping out. Nice tractor, Nicer Pic's!

the 1450 engine is not a direct bolt in the 782 you need a engine cradle from a 82 series style tractor

Seeing these pics makes me kick myself. I recently passed up pretty much exactly what you got plus an extra set of body panels, an the engine cradle for a single cylinder engine, plus it was IH, all for 200. I hope you enjoy what you got, you're going to love it once you get a motor for it! :beerchug:

Nice find on your 782. It cleaned up nicely.

Nice find!! But why do you say it's a non-IH? 782's came out under the IH banner, and yours even has the IH emblem on the front!! A lot of the emblems got knocked off those tractors.

I say not ih cuz its build date is 1982 has a black rearend also a black front axle. Serial tag says cub cadet insted of international. As well as dash panel (only reason I said 82 is because it still has the tags wrapped around the wiring harness that says 1982 .

Oh and jimbob..... this is that tractor. I have the cradel plus a spare hood and side shields. Small world. A buddy of mine took it in on trade. And then I got it from him.

No kidding? I gotta keep an eye on the guy he got it from, he's just about literally in my back yard, about 10 minutes away tops. Good guy, really knows his stuff and has a lot of it. I'd love to get my hands on the 1711 he has :biggrin2: I actually got the 129 and snow thrower I have now off of him, both for good prices. Wish I hadn't passed that one up now but I'm glad another forum member got it, congrats! :beerchug:
