Default New guy from Indiana/Wisconsin
Hi guys, great site. The town I grew up in (Edgerton, Wisconsin) had a small fleet of Red Cub Cadets that they used to mow the city parks and the school grounds and I really liked the 782 they had. I never really had a big enough lot in Wisconsin to justify a lawn/garden tractor. We recently transferred with General Motors from Janesville, Wisconsin (GM closed our plant there) to Fort Wayne, Indiana and the place we are renting has two acres to mow. Remembering back to my childhood and that 782 I always liked in Edgerton, I decided that was the machine I had to own. I found a 1981 782 in Ohio and picked it up last Monday. Probably paid too much for it but I am still very happy to own it. Again great site!

Welcome to our Forum.......

I always like the 782 and have one myself. It doesn't matter how much you paid for your tractor, as long as you are satisfied.

Welcome to Cub Country!!! You think that you paid too much for your 782? What's a memory and a great garden tractor worth to you? Especially when it saves your back during the winter months moving snow, cuts your grass, pulls that wagon for you instead of lifting on that wheelbarrel, etc...and puts a smile on your face year round....

Very good point Cub Cadet 123. Every time I walk by the 782 I think of playing little league baseball watching those guys mow the park on those beautiful summer days.

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.
