Both DX3 and MattG are correct regarding how to identify one of the Series 2 motors. You are mowing on level ground, so provided the Cub has been well maintained all these years, there should be no reason to be overly concerned with the series 1 motor provided it is in good shape now. Eventually the Kohler wil wear out and you can repower the 782 with an engine of your choice. Between now and then, be on the lookout for a series 2 replacement.
My series 2 engine is number 24363, so I have one of the early ones from 1986 or 87.
