Steve Thanks for the quick reply! After I posted I pulled some lines off the shelf and noted the same as you, to short! What did you do for the line that goes from the “bottom” of the valve to the power steering? Where you able to “tweek” this line? If not what did you do? I’m not even sure I’m doin...

I’m working on my 1882, it has around 1200 hours and is losing power, and has begun to be a rear bear to start. I’m in the middle of pulling the engine for a starter cleaning new hard gaskets and a general cleaning/service. I believe this is the first time the engine has been out in 30 years. I’m lo...

What’s the total? Just a icey costing yesterday morning washed away by rain. Then sun in the afternoon, a dusting over night last night. Not even enough to sand the driveway!

Dag has the right idea, fill it with new, run it and change againin a few weeks/months. Be sure to get things good and warm and use all the lift/drive power steering functions etc.

Paul I second what Dave said about eBay. Some are great some are bad. Another option is to make one! You need a 26 carter from any 10/12 kohler. Rebuild kit 25-757-02 Your old carb. Soak and clean the “new” 26 carb, remove needle and seat. Remove choke and throttle shafts from both carbs and install...

Ken that’s alot of water/run off!

Do you run MMO ? I would think a valve is sticking

Reverse switch can be seen through the shifter handle slot. The plug is white, kinda a weired one pin a plastic spacer and a second single plug. You can reach through the slot and twist the spring steel with needle nosed plyers, or removed and it can just hang. The seat switch sticks up through the ...

Lew Ken is probably still pushing! They said something like 45” up his way at one of the ski places! 12” here, the truck/Plow did good, only slid off the driveway once, my neighbor pulled me out. Of corse the 2 stroke blower wouldn’t start so I had to shovel/push the snow off my deck. Also have a 16...

Paul The schematic looks correct for your 1811, like lew said, the black wire might burn out if left tied up. I would look at the seat switch first, it’s easy to get to and very exposed to salt/snow when blowing. If it’s bad I should have a good used one. The reverse switch I’m guessing has already ...

It’s the safety circuit! Look into a bad or not jumped out seat or reverse switch. The clutch has nothing to do with it. Last thought is a bad relay. Some only have one, others have two, I’m not sure why though!?!

It’s been a while, but as I recall the older smaller bore was 2-7/8 and the newer bore is 2-15/16. Try looking up a Original cub cadet and see if the pistons are the same numbers. There also may be a note in the parts listing for the different bore. A good “old” dealer should be able to help!

To many no-cub projects! Dave C and I have been sawing lumber for our area at our club grounds. We “own” (along with engine mike) a 22x32 space in our big pole barn. We are following another member who has “finished” his space with recycled rough cut barn board. We are a year behind, and just cuttin...

Has any one found a aftermarket idler pulley for the 450/451/551 blowers? I just picked up a 450 and it’s mossing both. $$50 each seams a bit high!? I know stick with OEM and I might still buy them but it just seams high?

Looks like a head light plate retainer from a 70/100 or a 1x2-3 series?

I’ve never messed with the cub rear engine riders. Peerless made gear boxes for a lot of brands, I’m guessing after a full clean down you did not find any ID tags?

Steve
The 54” blade for a 782 is the same type of mount as the 42”. The super blades don’t fit 782’s.

Rich Weights and chains are a must! Chains more so then weights.i prefer to keep a set of chains on smaller (skinny) 6-12’s this will make the tractor sink and find traction easier. This will also allow you to do more work with less added weight! It all depends on your surface, if your on gravel, us...

Rich
I’ve been using a 46” deck and a bagger, much easier then the blower, tarp, loader, Snow plow etc. if you have all the correct parts, it will mount on your 782.

Ken That 1991 revision is the only MTD paper revision I’m aware of. Of corse I could be wrong. It is the newest paper copy for sure. I bought the same revision in 1998, I have found older copy’s from the late 80’s printed by IH. If you need spacers, let me know, I’ve parted a few Kohler’s with throw...

Paul With no snow, no posts! As I recall, we only got to Plow only one more time after that early December storm last year. This year, I’m not ready for it yet! I’ve been working a ton of OT. While the bank account is happy, I’m not getting much ship time! I’ll get some weekends back in November for...

I went and found the add again myself! It’s don debolt, I don’t think he was ever here, but back in the registry days he was a regular. I should say he is a stand up guy, I would trust his work. As for the price that’s up to the two of you, but he did all the important work. I would try to find some...

Steve I’m sure we did! We talked about meeting up, but never where able to pick each other out of the crowd. Our dealers here are the same, the old dealer that has been in town since the 40’s, (They moved around least once, and changed owners at least twice.) went down when they forced the parts “gi...

Richard Sounds like the 782 Albie posted for sale down in MD? Is Ivers the dealer that had the huge spring auction every year? If so, it was sad to see them close, the auction was fun! I would skip everything but the last 30 or so items, I was after all the parts! Leave home at 9 bid, Arrive at noon...

I just read your post in the lt2138 topic, as it crosses I’m responding here. I would have the deck on the LT fixed. Like Tom said cut out the rust and weld in new and then weld the hook back where it should be. These decks always have this issue over time, thin stamped decks don’t last! Look at the...

Rich Being in northwest CT I’m about 2 1/2-3 hour ride to your area in Cooperstown. Prices should be about the same here! For 1800-2k it best be a prefect machine, like others have said perfect Original paint or restored. Options add up as well, your In snow country does it come with a 2 stage blowe...

Paul Yes, total sense, I would get the proper spriol pin and re-install. From memory 5/16-2 should be about right. The deck arms would also be attached the same way. If they are off from each other replace as needed as well. They can be a bear to drive out if they are twisted. Also fun to get the ho...

I had a similar issue years ago, I put a used starter on my 70. Someone before me stole the starter, that had a hand wind rope pulley from another brand on the flywheel, you had to turn the engine over backwards to wind it! It started easily with 1 or 2 try’s. After installing a starter generator, I...

I’ll try to remember, I did mow after work last night.... The first tractor was a 149 that is here for repair. I mowed for about 20 minutes and it started sputtering, it has some sort of carb issue and won’t run past 1/2 throttle. Onto the 1882, it’s always been hard Starting cold, I think the head ...

Drought here, I haven’t mowed in weeks. The weeds are starting to get tall, I may try to cut them back this weekend. I did miss my July sickle bar mowing as well, that needs it for sure!

Joe What are you asking? For set up info? Or how to bolt it on? The info should be found in the document section above. I haven’t poked around there I. A while so I could be wrong. As for mounting there was a guy on eBay making A-frame type adaptors with the Brinly Mount included. I bought one of th...
