Found a 1772 Super Diesel but.......
...it's not quite for sale yet.
I found this at a local salvage/repair shop; hour meter show only 44 hours so it has not functioned in a while. It runs well but the proprietor is still trying to replace the "cold start" clutch for which he cannot find a replacement. Evidently this clutch sits between the hydro fan and the rear rag joint and, as he explained it, works off centrifugal force???? My 682 has no such thing; does anyone have any comment on it? He thinks he can just weld the shaft and eliminate its function. The local Cub Dealer says they are NLA. I would prefer it be there if I want to own it. BTW, a snowblower and 60 inch Haban come with it. Side panels and tunnel cover are all there. Let me know what you think. we have not agreed to a price.

Don't let him weld the shaft...it'll warp and the resulting vibration will destroy the rag joints and couplers on the driveshaft. The centrifugal disconnect clutch is NLA and hard to find. What's wrong with it? They're pretty simple and robust. I have had one diesel with one, and one without it, and there wasn't much of an ease-of-starting difference between the two. A new driveshaft could be made and the clutch eliminated. Run it at full throttle; if there is vibration, you'll be going through the driveshaft anyway. These things eat driveshafts.
Check the rear-to-frame bolts to make sure they are there and tight, and make sure the rearend hasn't broken where the front frame mounts attach. If they have, you'll be replacing the rearend. I would also look for coolant leaks, blown head gasket, fuel leaks, etc so you know what kind of headaches you may encounter. That thing looks like it's been neglected a bit, so look it over carefully.

Great advice Matt...I was also going to recommend just making a new shaft and tossing the disconnect clutch if its fragged......Its not a necessity!
Looks like a nice super..I would snatch it up in a heartbeat if everything else checks out  Jeff (teet)

I would run threw the Super bowl in my britches to have one. Buy it now. From what I have heard the drive shafts are usually going bad any way so when you rebuild it you have a new setup that will last the next 1000 hrs. I give around $2K for it.
BUY IT NOW!!!!!!

Weaverama,
Buy it, Buy it!!!!!! I lucked into my 1772 diesel for a song and never regret buying it, even though I wasn't looking for one at the time. I gotta rework my driveshaft due to vibration. Doesn't look too bad, but do not let them weld the slip clutch.

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.
