782D journey

[1811Cub]

Finally, I had enough time to devote to finish this project after the parts arrived. It went together fairly well. While it was apart, I replaced the water pump belt, and the fan belt. The fan belt was the original one, and was ready to come apart.

The old worn driveshaft:

New crank coupler bushing installed:

Completed driveshaft with mostly new parts:

NOS Kubota alternator belt:

New fan belt:

the 782D is just a bit more complex than my 100.

I have not touched the transaxle yet. This one is so smooth, responsive, and quiet, I kinda hate to delve into it. One thing that will make it difficult is the 3 point hitch. The hydro filter is an old one with the IH logo on it, so at minimum it should get a new filter.

Those rag joint bolts are WAY too tight. Tighten them until they just slightly start to deform. One pair of bolts looks too short too; might need to replace those so you will still have enough threads showing through the nut when they are tightened properly.

Matt-thanks for the feedback. I backed two of the bolts off just so the rubber barely deformed. I had two longer grade 5 bolts that matched the other two.

Also installed 2 new anti-scalp deck wheels

You need to install a star washer under the three wire ground on front left upright radiator support and the rubber joints on driveshaft are too tight over squished !!! The rest look great
