Twin 17 engine question
Hi guys. I am looking online at a 782 with a dead engine. Think it was run with low oil and locked up. I asked the owner if it was a Series I or a Series II and he did not know. He sent me a picture which showed KOHLER Twin 17 on the air cleaner. Does that designate a Series I or did both engines have that label? Any help here would be greatly appreciated.

if it just says KT twin its probably series 1, that's all they put on the original ones. it could have been short blocked to a series II . does it have a location for a oil filter or have a filter on it?

Thanks for the input. I can't tell from the photo if there is a provision for an oil filter. I will call the guy back and ask. I wonder if there is a serial number break at which they switched to Series II? I have not found any posts which address that, but some of you guys work wonders at finding that kind of stuff which we newer guys can't. I will assume it is Series I and be pleasantly surprised if I buy it and find it is a Series II. Thanks again.

Get the "Spec Number" from the engine model tag. That will tell for sure.

Be careful that you don't give too much $$$ for it because of your excitement to get a 782.
Usually a quick visual of the fill plug is a good, but not positive identification. A sq headed pipe plug usually indicates a series 1, a curved nipple with a cap is usually a series II, but be aware they can exchange those. Another way, but hard to see is where the dip stick goes in, not only is there a block off plate for a filter on the II's but the passage plug is larger on the II's but without having the 1's and II's to compare, it is difficult to explain/see. I really need to find a pix I have somewhere in my 3000 + pix.

The photo I have of the engine is from the side looking over the top of a hood side panel at the air cleaner. I can see the dip stick handle in the foreground and the curved oil fill pipe beyond with a cap that has the two ears sticking up on top for you to turn it with. From Ol' Georges comments I think this might be a Series II. I went ahead and agreed to purchase the tractor and now I have to wait about three weeks before I can go get it and know for sure.
Thanks again to all you guys for your inputs. I really enjoy this forum, read it regularly and continue to be amazed at the knowledge that exists here and is so freely given.

I've seen many Series I with the curved oil fill tube. If it received a new or used short block, wouldn't that have a different serial number tag with it. I can't remember what the tag connects to though. My guess is Series I.

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.
