782D Cub#1 Power Steering Upgrade
Though about posting this project since did not see many posts with details of 782D conversion. The gas 782 conversion did not have the tight space with the flex disc joint next to the manual PS box.
Have two 782D. Cub#1 was purchased in 2006 with about 1000 hours and is used for mowing. When my wife uses this Cub, she has a hard time with steering. Agree the PS box needs to be rebuild again but with her bad shoulder going the PS route is the way to go. I am using a JD 318 PS pump, Cub cylinder and proper GT new bracket from Messick. The diesel cubs have very limited amount of space to work with. Spent many hours where to position the pump. Original was wanting to install the pump behind the dual hydraulic spool valve. Was concern about interference with the battery box. Next location was using manual box mount cross bracket. With PS pump in this location clearing both the flex disc joint and drive line, the pump is hanging halve way below the bottom of the frame. Was concern with hydraulic lines near PTO belts and lift assemble. The 50C Mower is currently on cub#2 so with the deck blocked all the way up against the frame there was still no interference with the pump valve. I still did not like the hydraulic lines being so exposed. If it was not for the flex disc joint, could mount PS pump so the bottom of the pump was level with frame. The solution is replace the flex disc joints with the ‘barrel’ joint couplers used on 2000/3000 cubs. Enough said for opening first post. Attach photos with flex disc joint. Bob G.

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.
