To be fair....Dad's 782 has a series 1 in it and he's had it for probably 15-20 years. He lives on hilly ground and we've mowed all over the place with it for those years, and (shameful to admit) I don't think the oil has been changed in it (if so, not often) and it's never given him problems. The only issue it currently has is that the front seal leaks and is depositing oil onto the mower deck belt so it slips some.
