Tiller gear-box on 782 Question
I am new at this and have a question about leaving the gear-box mounted on the tractor. I want to get ideas from viewers if the gear-box is generally always left on the tractor year-round or do guys pull them off when not being used. I thought it would be a little extra weight which would be ok for traction in snow, etc. The problem I see with taking it off is when you loosen the lower bolts on the mounting bracket to the rear axle housing cover you will loose hytran fluid (which is not cheap). What do you think?

I always removed it, because it hangs pretty low, and I don't want to damage the pulley while going through the woods hauling timber.
And, I'm not sure if it's correct, but with the rear gear box, the ball mount is a few inches lower, than when it's mounted directly to the diff. I'd leave it on, if you don't do the kind of offroad work that my 124 is used for.

I am with Bill, the Tiller Gear Box on my 1450 stays on all year round for the same reasons you cited. It is time consuming to take on/off and the loss of fluid are the issues for me. I have had mine on now for 5 years.

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.
