Thought I was taken
Bought a 782 last fall as my old 1978 vintage simplicity finally bit the dust. Was looking at Wheelhorse as I had those in the past but as my dad used to work at the IH South Works plant in Chicago and my wife's uncle used to own a Cub dealership in the 70's, I had to get Cub.
Paid 850 for the Cub even though the starter did not always work. Owner said his uncle bought it new. I use it for mulching leaves, hauling wood,etc. Then this spring the front seal opened up a bearing started making noise and the PTO stopped. Thought I was taken. As I started taking the shrouding off to get to the seal, I started noticing 0282 on several parts. From the SN it is an 82. It all looks original per the paint lines on the sheet metal. Even the starter looks original. As for the PTO, I see the wire was broken. So now I feel the seller just had good timing and I got a good one owner machine, hubcaps and all. Question on the PTO. Do they get weak or just fail. I attached the PTO to a battery and it does activate. But I could rotate the mating part. Seemed too easy to turn but there was good resistance. I will drop a new bearing in the PTO as the original is not smooth. I think this was the bearing noise as the spindle bearings seemed OK. Hate to drop the bucks if this PTO is actually good. Thanks

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.
