Default battery recommendations?

My 782d used to have a top post battery should I convert it to a side post to get a bigger battery and I am not doing the GR starter.

What battery does it now? What is the cold cranking amps rating?

My 1572 has a 350 CCA top post battery. It is 6 years old and it has top posts.

it has 250 I was just wondering because I could fit a bigger one in, but it has died on me twice in the year I had it it would spin over once and themn stop most of the fall it started right up. and is it a common problem for the exhaust manifold bolts to snap off. and how do I get them out, what grade bolt should I use. what is the torque spec for the exhaust manifold? Thanks,

The glow plug upgrade would help you a lot. Get the biggest CCA battery that you can find, that will fit.

I have never had the bolt snap on my 1572 because it has a bracket that is connected to the engine for support. I had all but 2 break off on a 1782 because it does not have the support bracket. We had to weld a nut to the bolt and then unscrew it from the head. Below is a kit with the factory parts that i have listed on ebay. These are what I used. I am not sure on the torque specs but they are probably in the manual in the tech section. Post a picture of yours under the hood.

Why would you not do the GR starter?

The OEM starters are not very good. I know a lot of people don't like the China GR starters but I've had pretty good luck with them.

There is some rewiring to be done if you do the GP upgrade. Just an FYI

I run regular L&G batteries in all my diesels. But......I don't live where it's 30 below zero in the winter either.

Start by checking all your connections. Positive and negative. Make sure to check for corrosion in the ring terminal crimps at the battery. Check the voltage at the starter while you crank the engine.

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.
