782D journey

[lpalma]

Yep, as long as you have good ground on the dash tower to frame. I put 2 star washers on my 1512, was it necessary? or was it a waste of washers...

 

[Mark Evans]

I always cleaned the chassis and then star and the connections and repainted after elect test for community !!!

Replaced the ugly frame bolts for the lift cylinder.

Also replaced the engine lift hooks. The front one was bent. The rear was missing.

 

[RAllison]

Coming along nicely!

 

[mpatterson]

Have you had any transmission oil blow by from the 2 blow by valves

None. This is a very quiet and responsive transaxle, and most importantly leak free.

Oops....

Those are release valves, and if they are leaking from the hole on top, they need to be rebuilt or replaced.

Thank you very much for your feedback I have another question regarding your glow plug replacement I looked it up online and it says it's a 10.5 volt glow plug if the engine is running on 12 volts wouldnt that cause them to wear out sooner by using too much voltage?

 

[1811Cub]

NGK Y-103V / 2031 are spec'ed for 10.5V. I'm not entirely sure if they will fail sooner, but I have had no issues with them for several months. I used what most have used when upgrading their tractors.

 

[mgonitzke]

Those have been the suggested upgrade for like 15 years. I have never heard of anyone complaining about them failing early.

 

[1811Cub]

It was 55 and sunny today, so I got the 782D out and mowed the property. It sure has come a long way in only 10 months..

You bet...that things awsome!!!

 

[kzintner]

Very nice machine

 

[dwyand]

Very nice. Looks to nice to use . I like the 3pt.

 

[1811Cub]

Thank you for the compliments. As for the overall condition, the paint, which for the most part is factory applied, is a 6/10 with some chips and scratches touched up. To be show worthy, it would need a high end paint job. I love it the way it is, and use it often without too much fretting if it gets dusty from mowing. It's a very nice driver condition machine.

 

[Doug Rusk]

I'd rather have a nice worker than a perfect show tractor any day.

NOS 720-3005 height adjustment knob

 

[1811Cub]

It was time to address the hokey spring setup a previous owner rigged up that was used to put tension on the shut off lever.

After an exhaustive nationwide search, I was able to locate only one- NOS in the wrapper for only $17 shipped.

After about 30 minutes, I had it installed, and the levers working properly.

It eliminated an annoying noise.
