I have recently made some updates to my 782.

I got a new seat from Northern Tool. They were having a $15 off sale on them, so I picked it up for $85. I am pleased with it. It looks and feels exactly the same as a Cub seat that I paid $125 for. I also added some extra tall and soft seat bumpers too.

I put some new punched foot rests on the fenders. They are powder coated black and look very nice.

I replaced a leaking hydro valve and changed the hydro fluid and filter. The fan was busted, so I put a new one on with two new rag joints.

The big ticket items were the wheels and tires. I got all 4 wheels powder coated and went with some Tru-Powers on the rear and some Super Lugs on the front. I was able to get them online with free shipping so that helped, but man I hate the price of tires.

The paint and decals on this tractor are all original. The tractor has 800 hours on it and I think it looks pretty good. I gave the sheet metal a good washing and wax. I am on the fence right now about going all the way and repainting the tractor. There are some scrapes and scratches on it that are bothering me. I am leaning towards keeping it like it is for now. However I will be going to Red Power in June and am going to be looking at a lot of shiny red paint out there. That may change my mind.

Here are some pictures.
