Frank, I have the later model serial number. The easiest way to tell for me is to look at the tunnel cover. The earlier serial numbers had a steel tunnel cover, the later model has the plastic cover. -Ray 782D and 1572 have different glow plugs than the 1772 and 1782. If my memory serves this old gu...

Matt, The 1782 already has an inline relay and wiring. I wonder if I took the Kubota part number to NAPA if they could cross reference it for me... -Ray For the D600B engines at least, the 'new' glow plugs are NGK Y103V and about $8 each from NAPA. You will have to add an additional solenoid and wir...

So after I posted this question last year I got sidetracked and never followed up on it. In the last few days we had a foot of snow and I had a heck of a time trying to get the 1782 started. I ended up killing the battery which just added to my frustration. I finally grabbed a piece of wire and manu...

Hey Allan, I see that you're not too far away, I live in Rhode Island myself... Welcome, there's some great information to be had here and the people aren't so bad either! One of my cubs is a 682 with a blown motor so I feel your pain, if there's a replacement for your motor to be had these guys wil...

Bryan, I just emailed that guy the other day about his super cab. That would be perfect for my 1782 but I have no way to get it from there to Rhode Island, It's shame too, I've been looking for something like that for over 2 years now. I'm sure I could have it shipped but I'm afraid to even ask abou...

Hey Joe, Looking good, cant wait to see the finished product. I still have a 782 with front hydraulics I picked up a few years ago that I wish I could motivated to start. It's mostly tore down, just the tower and controls left on it. I need to find a place in RI that will sandblast all the sheetmeta...

Hey Pat, Is that air, or liquid cooled? Also, does it make alot of noise? I have been looking at these for awhile now and can't decide which model I want to buy. All my planning for disaster preparedness went out the window this storm (I still don't have power as of this morning) when my portable ge...

Hey Frank, They later reopened Chanute as a training facility. I attended tech school there for over a year in 1991. That base had a buttload of students on it, they even sent marines there for advanced observation training etc and the navy used it for their guys too. Those navy guys couldn't march ...

Scott,
I'm not sure if it's still the same but last time I used it everything in chat was logged and archived. I wasn't comfortable speaking "freely" knowing it was logged like that, lol. That's just me though...

Hey Geezer, I found this searching on google. http://joestradingpost.com/brake_job/ It has a step by step with pictures. According to the site it says to soak it in a penetrating fluid and "beat it with a rubber mallet". I have a 2003 Nissan Murano and had to do the same thing when I replaced the ro...

Hey Dave, I wish I had known you were looking for help, I would have taken a trip over and given you a hand. Anyway, nice job. I'm with you, If I'm going to do it over I'm going to do it right... Here are the pics from 2006 when I bought my house. The kitchen was a disaster, so out it went! The old ...

Hey guys,
I know alot of people talk the cyclops down, but I have a 1782 and that things a beast. There are a few things that normally fail (the plastic cover pins, axle tube bolts loosen/break, etc) but if you keep up with the maintenance it'll do anything you ask of it....

-Ray

Ray Weaver, What kind of pricing are we talking about with shipping between the current state and the finished state? I know that the bottom part will need to be milled down alot in order to clear the brake levers, but I might be able to handle that myself... -"The other Ray" :) I am making these li...

Todd, This is a 1782 (cyclops), not a 782. Are the specs the same for the glow plugs? -Ray Ray, I doubt yours has the newer style plugs uless they have been recently replaced. The service manual for the 782D calls for 1.6 ohms resistance for each plug. I think the original style are still produced, ...

Good afternoon, My 1782 is hard starting and I've seen a few discussions about the older cub glow plug upgrade that involves NGK glowplugs and adding a relay. I believe the 1782 already has the relay and all that? I need to find the service manual and figure out how to test the actual glowplug itsel...

Jim, I had a similar day myself. I started by taking the thrower out and trying to move the mountains of snow that I made with the plow blade. The first thing that happened was I sheared a bolt on the auger. No problem, just replace the bolt, but I only have grade 5 bolts to replace it with. I think...

Mark, How much did something like that cost him? Adrain, Those lift arms on Ebay are already gone, lol. I wonder who made them, they were machined parts, not the cast ones from Cub Cadet. -Ray My brother broke the arm on his 2182 and took the broken one to a local machine shop. they made him a new o...

Tom, That actually a -1, not 1. I had called them Monday morning and they said don't have any in stock and that they are backordered... -Ray My dealer ( http://www.messicks.com ) shows one in stock for $93.05. Not hugely better, but at least you know that the ebay price is not totally out of line. I...

Steve, The metallic paint looking hydro fluid isn't so good. I imagine that's the source of the steering issues too. Good luck on your offer, though, don't be afraid to walk away if the price isn't right. The right one will come along when you least expect it... -Ray Well went and looked at it. Star...

Steve, No luck whatsoever :( I've called everyone I can think of to find one. Tell your local dealer I'd be glad to take an implement lift arm with a blower attached for the 100.00 the lift arm costs =) -Ray Have any luck finding one Ray? I know that my local dealer has a couple but I also know that...

Steve, I bought a 1782 early last year. It's a great tractor overall even though it's not without it's issues. I would pay special attention to the following: 1. Look the rear end housing over good, look for cracks, etc. 2. Look at the axle tubes also, make sure the bolts haven't backed out and caus...

Joe, I didn't realize the adapter would be listed in the implement book, I just went out to the garage because I have that same guide that shows the part numbers, etc. Thanks to everyone who assisted with input, I'm going to see if I can find one of these things locally, and also as many of you have...

Steve,
Mine is a 54" also, it's similar to that frame with some subtle differences. The plow has a part number of 701-407 on it, with a serial number of 493163, or 183, it's a little messed up and hard to read near the end.

-Ray

Ok. That's making me feel a little bit better, it looks similar to the one I have (minus being broken). From the looks of that measurement I can assume it's about 5 inches from the center of the rod hole to the top inside corner of the cutout for the rockshaft? The one I broke that's apparently for ...

Paul,
Do you have the dimensions of that arm? Also, I see it has a hole at the end instead of a pin to put the lift rod over. How does the rod attach to the arm?

-Ray

Steve and Paul,
Thanks for the research but I think that's the frame for a 782, not a 1782 cyclops super. Or am I missing something?

-Ray

I've been looking everywhere, does anyone have a picture and part number of what the correct bracket looks like?

-Ray

Mr. Weaver, Do you have anything like that in your vast pile of spare parts? I am looking for the correct lift arm you mentioned on the cub parts website but so far I haven't found anything like it. thats not a snowblade lift arm thats a blower arm for a 450 451 551 you need another style arm with a...

So I was trying to make some room and move the frozen piles of snow along the edge of the driveway today and broke the implement lift arm for the plow. I need to find one of these before the snowstorm that's forecast this coming Wednesday. DSCF0788 (Custom).JPG DSCF0789 (Custom).JPG It kinda sucks, ...

Bryan, I think I have you beat. Yesterday I was all excited at work thinking about coming home and firing up the super. I finally get home and my girlfriends son had shoveled the entire driveway. Apparently he was mad because earlier that morning he asked me if he could use the tractor to plow the d...
