I've been looking for a 782 now for three years, found one a few months back (middle of upstate NY winter) and bought it for a really good price. Stripped it all down, pulled all the sheet metal, engine, everything and rebuilt it from the ground up. Sand blasted the wheels and other rough parts, changed all the fluids and ended up with a pretty nice tractor. I also mounted a new style seat on it with adjusters (homemade brackets) so my wife could easily use it. I also added dual hydro from parts I got from Rich Patton (really good guy). I'm blasting and painting the blade and deck/mule drive this weekend and she'll be read for business.
Here's the rest of the pics in my online garage
