882 Diesel "refreshing"

[jrarick]

that looks like a standard cub disconnect--same as on my 1772.
they are not fluid filled. perhaps it was added at some point.
I don't know when they first came out as a standard item on the diesels.

That's a centrifugal clutch, and was an option on the diesels until the 1572 and 1772, when I believe it was standard. My 782D has one, also.

The centrifical clutch came installed on my 1572 from the factory. I ordered my 1572 before any of them hit the dealers floor. They didn't even have literature for them yet. I believe mine was one of the first ones built as I found there was some parts incorrectly assembled on it from the factory. The centrifical clutch can be a problem if the bronze centering bearing in the rear yoke becomes worn, then the whole assembly will not run true to centerline of the shaft and be off-balance, causing a lot of vibration. I've have to replace that rear bronze bearing 3 times.
On my 782D, I do not have a centrifical disconnect clutch on it. A kit was available to add it at one time. I've been toying with the idea to remove the clutch on my 1572 and replace it with a straight shaft like on the 782D to reduce problems.

BTW - I'm going to have to pull the hubcaps off of my 782D. Thos hubcaps have been on there as long as I've owned it. Who knows if they were ever removed.

Dale, I'm not trying to hyjack your thread but I was looking at my 882 and I'm thinking someone modified the engine bracket. It looks like it was cut in the front. Is this the correct starter or is this a PO mod?

[Matt G.]

That starter looks correct; I suspect somebody cut that to make it easier to get at the lower bolt, perhaps so the engine doesn't have to be jacked up to pull the starter.

[Oak]

Thanks Matt. That makes sense because the PO pulled the starter and had it checked with the motor in place. Could I still use that bracket when I do the upgrade or will it need reworked?

[Matt G.]

You'll need to drill a hole to clear the stud for the wire from the battery, but other than that, it'll work. Search for my username and 'glow plug upgrade' or something like that, as I think I posted some details on that when I replaced the starter and glow plugs.

I tried to make some progress today. I pulled the muffler shroud out of the E-tank and wire wheeled them and got them primed. Then my neighbor and his friend came over and I think there was beer and Jager, but I can't remember

Oh well there is always tomorrow!

I don't think the throttle cable is broken (it's definitely not frozen). It is not connected by the handle. I want to know if anyone has any close up shots of the throttle linkage under the dash. THanks
