I'd say a couple hours and only because I was careful keep track of all the hardware and such. I lifted the engine off the frame myself. Not too bad and would be much quicker the second time. That being said I did find the rear seal the source of my leak. I was able to hold the flywheel by hand and loosen the bolt. It also came off the shaft nicely with little pressure from the puller. It was well lubricated! Now to find a seal and get this tractor back to work. 002.jpg

Happy to say the 782 is back in service! Side benefit is how much cooler it runs now that all the oil from the inside back of the jugs and stator is gone.005.jpg

Nice work, glad you got it going again and it didn't do any real damage.

Other than cleaning the engine and replacing the rear seal, did you do any other work to it while it was out? I was thinking along the lines of also replacing the front seal and decarbonizing the cylinder heads.

Just to clarify what I was incorrectly calling the "rear" seal (referenced to the tractor) was actually the front seal. Flywheel is front and PTO is rear. So I could service the PTO end while the engine is in the tractor easily. I passed on cylinder heads only because compression is 130/125 psi and I needed it back in service asap. I did buy both genuine seals locally for $12.50 each. Head gaskets were quoted as $26 each though. I really should buy those for the future know they are available. Is that too much?

Yeah, you talk about getting away with one! If I hadn't driven back past that spot where the tractor warmed up and noticed oil in the grass I'd be singing a different tune right now. My buddy who excavates says to me "always be looking for a blood trail" behind your equipment. And I will.

The logic for determining which end of the engine is front and rear does seem odd. Anyway, I've heard it is common for that seal to develop leaks. Mine leaked nine years ago and it might need another seal now.

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.
