The Red one I always wanted
Well here goes guys... I finally pushed one of the 782's that I picked up last summer in the corner of the shop. I got tired of seeing it withering away in the weather. I picked the back corner of the old part of the shop.. figured I'd have to see it everyday and maybe that would motivate me to work on it a little more. This tractor will probably live here for a while!
 Here is the plan: A really nice 782 with some modern upgrades. Upgrades to include.. a full rebuild of all the mechanicals.. addition of power steering, a super steer axle from a cyclops, A low hour CH18 V twin, an 1864 CV driveshaft. Maybe a 3 point and dual spool hydraulics.. verdict is still out on the latter. My plan is to make it really nice but still use it.. Basically I want an 1864 in the skin of a 782. But.. you guys will have to bear with me.. this won't be quick.. I run my own business and work 60 plus hours a week... along with a wife and family I don't get much cub time! The tractor I'm starting with: November 1980 IH built 782. Somebody already started a Mag 18 conversion and didn't get very far.. left it all botched up and unfinished. The tractor is pretty straight and clean. You can tell somebody cared for it at one time by the service stickers under the hood and the info written in Sharpie under the hood. One thing I don't quite know about?  Written under the hood is "New in 1983". The tractor was built in late 1980? Where did it sit for 2 years?I hope to document this one... maybe I won't get lazy with the write ups and pictures! I've always wanted a nice Red one since I walked in the front door at the IH dealer in 1980 as a kid... It was love at first sight!!

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.
