just got done working on my 782 for the night. This thing has been really frustrating. The first engine I had in it was a KT17 that was ran low on oil. It ran but smoked like a freight train. The next engine was a Mag 18 that came out of a 1810 that I bought off Conner. That engine has been the source of my frustration for the last 6 months. When I bought the tractor, i watched Conner start it up twice and drive it in to the bed of my truck. When I got it home, I pushed it out of the the truck and tried to start it but the bendix wouldn't engage. I finally got the tractor moved to where I could pull the engine out. I pulled the starter, cleaned it up, and then lubed the bendix. I finally got it all back together and in the tractor. When I tried to start it, the engine acted like it was locked up. I found out that the PTO was in a bind and wouldn't let the engine turn over. So I pulled the PTO off and made some changes and put it back on. I got the engine running a couple of times but the carb was acting up. So I rebuilt another carb I had laying around and put it on. When I was doing this, I noticed that the muffler didn't line up with the hole in the grille so I had to do some bending on the muffler to get it to line up. I readjusted the PTO and gave it another shot and it still didn't turn over. Now I'm really getting frustrated! I ended up rebuilding another starter and pulling the engine to put it on. I then noticed the bendix was garbage on this starter. I had to grab another one out of my pile of parts and it didn't help either. I finally loosened up the PTO again and it started turning over properly. The engine is now back in the tractor and ready to see if it's going to run tomorrow. If I had tried to start it tonight, me and my cubs would be sleeping in the yard for a while. I hope this thing finally runs. It's been a long frustrating journey with this d**n engine! If it runs, then I have to tackle my wiring gremlin. I'm not getting any power to the PTO or lights. I might end up putting the wiring harness from the 1810 in this tractor. We'll see. That will be another post. Wish me luck!

Keep at it with the attitude of Thomas Edison when asked when he was going to give up inventing the light bulb. His reply was well we know 208 ways it does not work. Keep in there and things will work out for ya.

Come on down! It's great to open up boxes that you have no idea what's in them. When your done opening them make sure you leave them where ya found them I might need what's inside.

Also put my weights on the new filled 8.50s..And let some air out to get the tires softer. Hooked it to the practice sled, 2nd with full throttle...And she pulled the front wheels off the ground and took off with no traction issues!





I'm very confident that she will do good tomorrow!
Conner good luck today and have fun! It looks great!

Thanks for the compliments on the puller, guys...Sadly, the pull was canceled!




This cancellation was sadly not because of rain...But because they broke an axle on the sled while moving it!

Good thing you didn't get that tricked out 100 hooked up to that sub-par sled.
They never would have been able to repair what you did to 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.
