Learned A Hard Lesson
I am the proud owner second owner of a '83 782 and an 80 that I do my best ot take good care of. I had done some maintenance on the 782 about a month ago on the 782 and gave the kids a ride in the driveway. As I was putting things away, and closing up the shop, I noticed my 2 yr old pracitcing his "driving" on the 782. I didn't think anything about it and grabbed him and we went inside.
Well, I went out to the shop this morning to grab a few things and noticed I had left the key in the ignition. Not only that, but it was turned on, which just about freaked me out. Much to my dismay, I looked at the hour meter and it read nearly 200 hrs more than when I last ran the machine a month ago after performing the maintenance and giving the boys a ride. Needless to say, I wanted to cry. If you go in the shop now, all the keys are hung up in a high spot where my 5, 2, and 11 month old will not be able to access them. I should have known better and given it better thought, but consider the lesson learned.  I still love my kids more than life itself and if a little pain and tears shed for daddy get/keep my little men interested in Cub Cadets, then it is all worth it.

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.
