782 Yes or No
Hey Guys
It has been a while since I have been on here. I sold my 1450 a while back and have not been able to find the right Cub. I was at my local hardware store the other day and got to talking to the owner and somehow got on the subject of IH Cub Cadets. He then told me that his mower repair guy used to have a cub cadet that he worked on here in the shop. He had recently passed away and the old cub cadet was in the basement of the building and he was about to scrap it. He said if I could figure out a way to get it out then I can have it. He said he knew nothing about it, but knew it had been down there forever. He walked me down into the basement and to my surprise I saw a dust covered red cub cadet. It has about an inch of dust on it. I started cleaning it off to see what it was and it turns out its a 782. The Bad- It had the series 1 engine that had blown. They had actually taken the engine out and meanwhile lost most of it. So it has no engine. The good- It had less than 250 hours when it blew and had been parked in that basement since then. SO other than dust it looks brand new. Everything is in perfect condition including the decals and chrome hub caps. Turns out it has been sitting in the basement for 30 years. It has the sleeve hitch and mower deck as well. So now the question is what do i do with it? It has no engine but everything else is there. Is it worth putting a new engine in or should I just part it out? I am not sure if it sitting for 30 years is a good thing or a bad thing. As far as condition goes it looks great because it has barely been used. I am picking it up on Saturday but the tires are completely flat and dry rotted. Also how do I get the transmission to disengage? Thanks for any input your guys can give. Brian So no

The trans should have the auto valves in it so just push and it should move and with that low of a hour I would defiantly put a new engine in it or even better upgrade I bet it will clean up good and you would only he out what the engine costs . I would probably do a fluid and filter change in the rear as well

I would fix it up. Install another engine and change the fluids and you're ready to go for years. The 782 is a great cub!

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
