Troy, I have never actually seen a model 400 in person. Here's about all the info I have on it. Note it can be used with either a Sleeve Hitch or a CAT-0 Three Point Hitch but you will need the correct adapting package to connect it up. It most likely has/had one of them already with it hopefully you have the same rear hitch on your 782. If you could post some photos of it that would help us help you.

If it were me, I'd use a sleeve hitch. Cheaper and easier to find. Plus it works with your other attachment.
The Aluminum rearend actually has the preferred fine spline axles and HD carrier in it. The part that fails is the actual rear end case itself.
I'd put the sleeve hitch on and go to town... While keeping a lok out for an IH rearend to swap in should something break.

Aaron at Xtreme Motorworks, a forum sponsor, makes special sleeve hitch lower brackets that have extra mounting points. Here's Aaron's description:
<blockquote><hr size=0><!-quote-!><font size=1>quote:</font>
The "Xtreme Hitch" End the fear of ever pulling the bolts out of your rear end! This has to be the toughest sleeve hitch on the market. The extra side tabs help eliminate the bracket bending in on the sides, with or without dual pin plates. Made from 1/4" Grade 50 steel.<!-/quote-!><hr size=0></blockquote>
