HE- HE- HE Sure felt good getting some seat time. That's the first work I've done with the 782 since the briggs repower, and it worked really good. Before I could do any grading I had to make a lift rod for the 782 since that was the first time I had put the blade on the 782. Shown below is the white adjustable one I had made for the 149 and the red one for the782. The one for 782 had to have a slight bow in it to clear the spread frame. Before I made the new rod I pulled the tractor's front tires up on two 2x4 blocks so I could measure the rod,and so I could get some added down pressure on the blade once done.

Now THAT is a great picture! 782 is look'n SWEEET!! Good job on the lift rod, looks good red, something different. I agree though, you look like your WAY too relaxed. I think you were enjoying yourself that day. Rough job working with gravel and the 782 made it that much more enjoyable. Now all we need is a group picture of the 782 & the 149!
