Did the any 782D have the cast rear with the dipstick in the front is the same tank as new smokers?

I think the answer to your question is, no 782D models had the CI rearend, and the fuel tank from a 782D/882/1512 is different than the one from the 1572/1772.

well i did read it matt but i edit it i must have hit wrong but to save that and put that one back up. anyway what i trying to ask is on the older cast rearends the dipsticks come up in the front under front of the seat and newer one go up though the back of battery box. Are the diesel tanks on a 782d the ones with cast and aluminum rearends the same with dipstick in differant places.

The only tractor with a CI rear and a dipstick is the 982. No diesel tractor ever had a CI rear from the factory. See my previous post as well...

so i can't use a tank from diesel with a 982 castrear end right

Can you remove the stick and cap the hole somehow and use a rear cover plate with a plug to fill and check the level?

[riesedesperado6170]

i have rear pto so i don't know how well that would work

What model are you working on?

[Matt G.]

You'd need to modify the rearend by adding a dipstick from an aluminum rear, and you'd have to use the tank and brackets from a 1572 or 1772, as the 782D tank and mounting brackets are not the same. None of them are going to be easy to find.
