Default 882 Diesel "refreshing"

Well I have finally had some time to start working on the 882 this weekend. I have been collecting parts over the last week or so. I have the updated starter (current one has a bad solenoid), a new alternator and voltage regulator (Old regulator no longer working) from xtrememotorworks, and parts for the glow plug upgrade. I have not got too far, mainly just torn down and ready to lift the engine so the old starter can be removed. I bought my 882 locally from a guy that was given it as payment for doing some wok for another guy. From what I can tell it has sat a long time.

I noticed that the battery tray is very rusty, and since I had just finished my electrolysis tank (thread updated as well), I figured it was the perfect time for it to take a bath.

I think the old battery was left in there a long time and melted down.

Also If you have hub caps, maybe take them off more than once every 20 years...

the wheels would of been in much better shape if not for the hub caps

Hopefully I will be able to finish it up this week or next.

I tried to make some progress today. I pulled the muffler shroud out of the E-tank and wire wheeled them and got them primed. Then my neighbor and his friend came over and I think there was beer and Jager, but I can't remember

Oh well there is always tomorrow!

I don't think the throttle cable is broken (it's definitely not frozen). It is not connected by the handle. I want to know if anyone has any close up shots of the throttle linkage under the dash. THanks

I made some more progress today. I got the new glow plugs in (but not wired), I started to work on the c44 deck, as it is in sorry shape. When I bought it the PO said that it needed a new belt (yeah right I thought it's prob rusted solid as well).

As I start breaking it down, it looks like at least one of the pulleys are frozen, because none of them would turn.

Once I got the belt gaurd off, I found that the deck belt had jumped off of the right spindle. It jamed everything up, maybe the tensioner is not right (it was a bit stiff).

They spin so freely it is like they are brand new (becides the surface rust!). I am gonna restore the deck as well, what color paint it correct for CCC attachments? I am going to remove the blades and spindles, any tips?

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.
