has anyone swaped front axels from a 982 onto a 782? thinking the 982 is wider and would give more stabilty and more big tractor look

It will physically fit, but the steering design is completely different. The 982 uses a bell crank on the front axle with a steering drag link that crosses under from the steering gear to the bell crank.....you would likely need the 982 steering gear and axle and all of the steering linkages.
...AND, your front attachments (blade, thrower, etc.) will not clear the forward swept 982 axle, and will end up 2" off of the ground.
Might be better to fing a Super Steer axle off of an 1864 instead. That's what I did to mine. raises the front abotu 1-1/2" to match the 26" rear rubber and turns on a dime!!!!

Don, I see the broken fender support rod in the lower right corner of that photo. Ouch!
Could that be an under sized bearing and the tape is there to keep it tight in the bearing retainers?

I have what I think is a new bearing here and its the same size.Is the bearing made to have a locking collar on it also. I have posted what Charlie sent me a wile back and just can`t remember if I got the right things here. I took the bolts out with my fingers it was that loose. wow I hate po work that allways needs me to have another look at everything on the Cubs I buy. Later Don T

ROGER D. - I have to agree with Steve B. A 982 frt axle is a Beast all to it's own. I'd say it's twice as beefy as a NF frt axle. Steering mechanism is totally different, even from other SGT's. Easiest way to install it would be to convert to P/S.
The "Super-Steer" axle Steve mentions is a great upgrade. Splined steering arms, 1" spindles, MUCH tighter turning circle, stronger axle, and it's a "Bolt-on".

Don, it should have a locking collar. I see one thing that may explain the tape, note the NLA part highlighted in yellow. OR if the PO had one retainer on each side of the clutch support bracket assembly the bearing would be loose, they should both be on the front side.
Don, it should be assembled like this with both of the bearing retainers on the front of the clutch support bracket assembly, note that the locking collar was not yet installed in this photo.

You hit the nail on the head there, It was not installed correctly as the retainers were on both sides of the support assembly. So that why the tape.The clutch worked good but was a little out of adjustment.There was no space there between brake and clutch. I just have to clean this up and it will be good to go . Thanks A bunch. later Don T

Donnie,
This is the 169 that I need to put back together.
Lets throw a yellow 169 super steer in here too.

hay thanks you guys i fig one of you would have knownit would work, wasnt sure if i could just use the 928 drag link and tie rods but the 1864 sounds like a better option but is the 1864 a power steering?
