782D journey

[1811Cub]

You got the paint nice and shiny...
By the way if your upper radiator hose is hard, the Kubota 900 RTV hose will work.

Thank you. I will look into that. Where does one purchase the insulation on the upper hose?

That's my 1972 Chevy Cheyenne Super 20 402.

Oh boy!...that sure is purdy!!
I just licked my phone...

Grew up with a 71 K20. Still sitting at my dad's farm waiting for me to get it back up and running. Best looking model / series of truck IMO.

Almost got a Chevy like that once. Was my daughter's neighbor. I told my son in law to ask if they would sell it, they said no. About 2 months later, it was gone. I asked where it went, and they said the neighbor sold it!
Nice GMC too! Looks familiar.

I have a 1512D, just a variation on a 782D. I just used the same insulation tubing that one would use to insulate the plumbing in their home. The dealer that installed it when they were replacing my hoses, didn't have an issue with it. So it's been doing just fine for the past 4 years since it was put there.

Tomorrow's job. Clean and repaint these muffler heat shields. Is there a source for the decal?

The GMC is a 2017. 34K miles, bought with 2.1 miles. Love it!

Would have to be one heck of a decal to withstand that heat!

My GMC is a 18' Had to order it to get what I wanted. Yours have the 6.2L?

 

[1811Cub]

No, 5.3. I upgraded the intake and exhaust, then added a tune. Runs very well considering the displacement.

The cold starting woes are gone. It started almost immediately with the new glow plug relay, and updated NGK glow plugs. I eliminated the resistor in the dash. Also completed replacing the 40A circuit breaker, reproduction battery cover with new hold downs, and refinished the muffler heat shields.

Nice work, what size battery is that? I know it is a 435cc what group?

 

[Jay Fetters]

She is coming along nicely!

The factory front bumper that I purchased from fellow board member Cubs4lifeofme was refinished and installed today.

Glad to see it found a Great Home. That things getting prettier every day ! You do nice work.

Super solid 44C deck is on the 782D, and I mowed with it for 30 mins. It has a noisy center bearing, but cut really nice. Later in the season, the deck will come back off for a full service and repaint.

Does anyone have a pic of the placement of the correct seat safety switch for the 782D? The connector has a jumper on it to allow the PTO to stay engaged.

 

[1811Cub]

Pic of the Diesel seat switch. Same as the Cub lawn tractors of the era, but FAR different than the gas powered garden tractors..

 

[1811Cub]

I added an amber colored 10mm diameter LED inside the original glow plug resistor indicator unit.

Clean install 1811, but for the uninitiated on D's (me), do you have a before photo?
