New to Cubs in CT
 

Howdy! I just got my hands on a nice IH Cub Cadet 782 (red). It has a mower deck, snow plow, snow thrower, and tiller.

I need a new shaft (the one with the pulley that the belt goes on) for the snow thrower gear box. Am I better off just getting a keyed shaft and making it myself or are parts available out there?

Fortunately, my 782 came with a mower deck in good condition. Unfortunately, the reason it was in good condition is that it didn't have the deck lift frame (inside or outside) that you use to hook up the mower deck. I see these on Craigslist all the time, but are the lift decks interchangeable or do I need one specific to the mower deck and 82 series?

He He, I also couldn't wait to use the tiller and got into my wife's flower bed--hit the low voltage light wiring right away. Doh! Better patch that before sundown ...

I'm in lower Fairfied County (the fungus-infected "toe" of Connecticut).

Greetings to all of you! I had a CC when I was a kid living in Palmyra, PA, and it looks like I ended up with a pretty similar model--37 years later and still working like it did back in the day. They just don't make 'em like that anymore.

:Welcome2:
Nice 782!

:Welcome2: I'm a former CT resident, used to live in Watertown. I feel bad for you seeing what Danny Boy Malloy has done to CT.

Welcome to OCC.:beerchug:

Don't get me started on that! Employers are tripping over each other to get to the exit. It wasn't that long ago we didn't even have state income tax, now we're one of the higher States and still bankrupt.

Thank you! JeffInPA has some great stuff he offers. I'll probably make him rich with what I'll end up needing.
