I got it running tonight. It started right up after installing the spare carb. It’s not the right one though as it’s from a series II and the governor linkage is different and I can’t find my other one. So I controlled the throttle with my finger. It sounds really good. No knocks or ticks.

Nice 782. I found a 782 the other year for my dad that had that style air filter, fairly certain his is a series II with provision for oil filter. Nice to hear it’s running

I found my other throttle linkage, and installed it. Fired it up and took it for a ride. It ran and sounded good, had a little smoke that smelled like burning dirt, I am thinking it's from the layer of dust/dirt stirred up from the fan in the tins and blow out through the fins. The hydro feels good and the lift works good. I'd say we got a keeper here. I plan to pick up an oil pressure tester just to confirm what engine I have because I'd like to know for absolute sure. I have a feeling it's swapped tins onto a series II.



I have two dozer blades now, and I'm planning to sell one. Probably the wider one I will sell because I can store the smaller one easier. I don't know yet which one I'll keep. Would they fit the 1912 or need a longer bracket under neath? Probably a longer lift arm too. If it fits I would keep the bigger one. Problem is in the winter the snow blower goes on the 1912 so I am not switching between blade and blower on that, it's too much work for me.

That's a cool seat. Were those a factory option or aftermarket?

I'm sure it's after market. It has Cyclops adjustable sliders under it. I don't like it though, the seat is hard as a rock, and sits back way too far. The guy I got it from was a giant, and it was his fathers, so I don't know if he was also a giant. But when I sit on it I have to lean forward to reach the steering wheel and pedal, and I'm 6'2". I'll be putting it back to a stock seat which I have already, just haven't had a chance to do that.

That's too bad. I find the old cub seats to be very comfortable. Most of the aftermarket stuff is, as you said, way too stiff.

I scored a new old stock seat for my 126 off ebay a little while back. Worth every penny.

My girlfriend said something about a cub cadet intervention, but all I can think about is that seat I got on sale from Rural King and how nice it would look on your tractor.

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.
