VHT engine enamel. Good to 550 deg . Hopefully that will be good.

I wanted the gloss black and the header paints (1,100 deg) were all a matte finish.

That muffler gets way hotter than 550°..... it's gonna burn off.

X2, I used it on the heat shields on mine and it's been fine, but I used header paint on the exhaust itself.

On a diesel? I knew it would get that hot on a gasser, but I thought the diesel would be cooler? Well, if it does, I'll do it again.

I installed the replacement ignition switch (again). That seems to be working correctly and as a bonus the glow plug light works again?

Rebuilt the throttle lever assembly, added a few .005 washers to tighten it up and replaced the broken spring washer. It is working while sitting in the shop, time will tell.

Put the muffler assembly back on.

Installed the yellow suicide knob.

Pulled the grill out, can that thing be welded? I can't tell if it's cast aluminum or some pot metal. It's broken in a few spots. If I can have it welded, I can save it.

And was very suprised to see that the hubcaps from the 782 fit on it!

Yep.. it looks nice and will probably work great on the heat shield... but im sure the muffler itself will probably get closer to double the temp that the paint is rated for.. Maybe go back and do the muffler with 1200 to 1500 degree stuff and leave the heat shield glossy black with the 550 rated paint

Looks great though!! A+ for the efforts!!

Oh yes. Diesel exhaust temps don't go up as quick, or stay there, but under load they get HOT. They do get hotter than 500°.

Under load, on that engine, I'd say exhaust temps run in the 750-900° range. Big diesels under load will run 1000°-1100°. I don't like to see them get to 1100° and stay there though.... pistons begin to melt at 1200°. 950°-1050° is about optimum under load.

Well, that is not the last time the sand blaster will be out on this project, I'll just add that to the list of things I do TWICE, on this project!

Maybe I'll just send it out to be ceramic coated and be done with it.

Spent 45 minutes mulching up leaves yesterday. Throttle control still does not want to stay in the full throttle position, it creeps back. I will pull it back apart and add .010" washer in the pivot assembly, hope that tightens it up enough to stay put.

The drive shaft needs to be updated. That clutch knocking is getting on my nerves and it seems to vibrate more than I am comfortable with.

I need to source a 1863 or 1864 CV drive shaft, then get with Jeff in PA for the adapters. (thanks Sam Mac for the PMs)

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.
