Yes, but as the 782 hydro is ported, you'll need to cap off the ports and change the implement relief spring as well as a couple of other things.

For a tiller to work good on a Cub, 12 h.p. is about the minimum for the tiller to work well.  I have a 1A with both extensions (38") on my 128 (12h.p., gear drive) and love it.  A creeper is required to use a tiller on a gear drive, and a spring assist is necessary on a manual lift tractor.  I prefer having my tiller on a gear drive because the tiller doesn't push the tractor as bad as it would a hydro.  If he wants a hydro I'd recommend at least 14 h.p. or a very STRONG 12 because of the power being wasted in the hydro.  Hydraulic Lift is nice but not necessary.  I have no problem lifting mine with a spring assist, and I'm not that strong.  I'd recommend a 1x8/9 of at least 12 h.p. or a QL of at least 12 h.p.  Nothing wrong with a 782 either if he's got money to burn.

I don't think a hydro has better control of speed for this application because the tiller is trying to push the tractor.  With a gear drive you put it in gear and go and it maintains the speed.
