Ok. IH built the first 782's. That is the last series that IH built. Then the Cub Cadet line sold to MTD. You could buy a red, IH built 782 with front hydraulics. Or you could buy them without. It was an option. When MTD took over, you could buy yellow or red 782. The 782 became the base model, and only the red 782 could have dual hydraulics. If it was a yellow and white 782, it had only the hydraulic lift. The yellow and white 784 was the model with dual hydraulics. Now, clear as mud?
You have a red 782 with dual hydraulics. So, it could be either an IH or a CCC built machine. Either way, the dual hydraulics was a factory option. None of your pics are close enough for me to be able to tell by looking if it is a IH or CCC tractor. Post the SN# and I or someone can tell you.
