Brought my Dad's red 782 home
Hello, we recently had to move my dad into a home and we are selling his house. Last Saturday I managed to get his 782 started and loaded on a truck to bring to my house. I have a new MTD Cub (XT3 GS) for mowing my property, but I have fond memories of this 782 so I intend to restore it a little bit at a time and at least use it for plowing duty. It has some issues, like lack of maintenance for the last several years when my dad got sick. This forum is a wealth of knowledge, so I intend to ask some of my stupid questions here. My first goal is to change all the fluids and perform a tune up, but after reading this forum and doing some net research, I see there is multiple versions of the 782 & the KT17 engine.
Here's what my dad has told me about the 782: It's a 1984 IH built 782 with a KT17 Series 2 Here's what I know: It's not IH built since it says Cub Cadet, Cleveland Ohio on the left footrest tag. I'll get the serial numbers and post them tonight to try and identify the year it was built. The next step is identifying the engine, I'll try to get some numbers off of it and post them up. We had a hard time starting it towards the end of last year. We had to put it on a battery charger and he seemed to have the magic touch between the throttle and choke. He told me it needed a new battery and coil. I bought a new battery and ordered a coil from Patton Acres. It still started very hard. It turns over forever and once you start to smell fuel it fires up. This happens on cold starts and warm starts. Could this be the fuel pump?

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.
