Default Hood problem !!
My hood on my 782D is not coming back far enough on the dash... It will fall down and touch the positive post on the battery !!! Now.. I've got a lot of parts ordered for this thing.. mostly deck parts and a throttle cable so until I get my parts I've not tore into anything... I just got it running good.. I looked last nigh... with a flash light.... and saw that the end of the hood hinge is threaded, But... Looks like the hood is back on the hinge as far as it will go. very few threads left... Will the radiator support slide... I'm sure when I get into it I'll figure something out. But you never beat a man at his own game !!!! I'll bet one of you have seen this and might save me some time when I do get to that !!!

Just like any other '82 series. Only you have to remove the battery and not the fuel tank. Pull the knob, take out the screws and change the cable. Time consuming, but NBD.

There is nothing on these machines that is "difficult"..... not to me anyway, but I work on big equipment and cars... so, these are pretty simple machines.

Let's see some pics of the dash. Most diesels vibrate the hood so much they usually destroy the dash over time.

Here is what my 882 looked like when I got it. No big deal, they are pretty easy to repair.

I now run a piece of Armaflex pipe insulation between the hood and the dash when I'm working them to keep the dash looking pretty.

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.
