Will 1862 attachments work in 782?

[Mark Shelby]

I’m asking dumb questions but thinking they should, as both are wide frames. I’m referring to mower decks, snow blowers, snow blades, wheel weights, cozy cab?

Everything but the cab, as long as the 1862 has a 4.5" PTO clutch. The fenders are quite different between the two, but the interfaces where the attachments connect are the same.

I wondered about the cab. The two tractors look very different.

Does it make a difference if the attachments were on an 1811, which is manual lift?

You will still have to have a 4.5" pto on the 1862

Thanks, brother. You’re a wealth of information!

1811 is hydraulic lift, and is mechanically identical to a 782 for this purpose.

The deck on my 1862 is from my 1811. The bumpers are identical.

 

[1811Cub]

The 1811 and 1862 have almost identical frames. The Cyclops era front bumpers fit all of the MTD built 82 series. You will have to drill holes in the frame to mount the bumper on an IH built 82 series.

 

[MarcHeld]

My 1811 bumper holes came open. The 1862 came with threaded nuts welded within the frame to facilitate bumper installation.

 

[1811Cub]

Yes, that's one of the differences between the frames.

 

[John Wheeler]

I don’t hate the bumpers…

 

[Mark Shelby]

Helps a little I would guess….

 

[1811Cub]

The Cyclops benefits more with the bumpers since they have that wonderful fragile nose. They all should have had them as standard equipment.

With the side by side photo of the 82 series and Cyclops above, it is very apparent how much lower the hood was on the Cyclops, almost certainly for better visibility. Downside to that is less under hood volume and grille area could make the engine run hotter.

Cyclops has added air vents in top of hood and side panels. Downside to the vents in the top of the hood is water can drain right down onto the electrical components.

 

[1811Cub]

That's right. Forgot about the extra vents.

 

[Tom]

Maybe a dumb question, but are there any IH/MTD models that have metal side panels and hood that will fit an 1862?

My question is related to attachments like mower decks, blades, snowblower, not body panels.

I must not have worded my question right. My question is related to attachments like mower decks, blades, snowblower, not body panels.
