Chris B, Matt G, Dale M, Jason - You go down to the SANDBOX in the Custom TIN thread and look at the home-made sleeve hitch I made for My 72 MANY years ago (20-25) to pull My Ohio Steel Fabricators plow You'll see I don't have much extending down below the factory rearend of the 72 and even with the 23-8.50 X 12 'Stones I have had bean straw build up under the rearend so bad that I've gotten high centered on the rearend and spun-out at plowdays. Even with My 982 and the 26-12.00X 12 'Stones at the one PD I took it to I really had to watch for fear of getting It high-centered. Just not a whole lot of room under those CC rearends when You drop the right rear tire into the furrow if it's more than 6-7" deep! Your not going to hurt anything under there since it's all heavy cast iron but it IS embarassing! Over at the RPM Forum there's even been a few guys complain about Full Size FARMALLS with Fast-Hitch getting hung up when plowing with tractors like 706/806, and the 56 & 66-series where the Fast-Hitch was still common.

What is the difference between a 1811 and a 782, besides HP?
The supposed 782 I bought yesterday, does not have the number decal, and I did not take serial number tag infor home with me. It has a remote oil filter so I suspect that it is an 18HP and therefore possibly a 1811 instead of a 782. Still can use the engine in the 782 that has the bad KT17 II. Just curious.

Frank-

Serial Number, 1811 doesn't have CCC decal on the fenders or in the headlight panel, 782 may have had an iron rearend, 1811 would not have. The hood decals are radically different. Does the motor have a coil or electronic ignition? Coil means it's a KT-17, no coil and it's an M18.

Chris B..
My dad modified my 149 's sleeve hitch like that years ago... works good. you have to move the lift point in toward the tracor to keep the same lift height. I also drilled another hole in the upper lift bar to move it away for better lift...

this is the only pic that i have...

BTW, the barbell weight sleeve hitch adapter works great for traction, but gets in the way while backing up in snow...

Darren - Sounds like you have a bad coil if it just shuts off. If it died like running out of gas then the gas cap isn't venting but since you said it has no spark go with the bad coil.

oh and huge has no "d" in it

I have a Cub 122 with creeper gear. When i installed the creeper gear last year I filled it & transmission with 90w gear oil. I noticed this morning in my manual to use hytrans or 30 w oil. I'm confused because it's not a hydrostat trans. Do I need to change the gear oil I put in? Thanks.

Jim - The Owners Manual knows best.

Darren - A buddy and I learned that years ago while out on a river with a borrowd boat/outboard. It took us forever to get back a little at a time.
