Re: rear pto 1572

Just to follow up on Tom's post, if you do need a Cat 0 hitch at some point, I purchased on from Ruegg Mfg...who does build them new. They are an exact copy of the original Super hitch and I am very impressed with his hitch. He does an outstanding job, and his new hitch costs the same or cheaper tha...

Re: Newest Cub Addition

Dave, that's more or less it. I used my other panel off of the 782D as a pattern, cut it out and used a grinder to make it as smooth and as close as possible to factory. I have not done the bottom slots, and not sure that I'm going to attempt to. I know the Supers came with them, but my 782D doesn't...

Sounds like a plan! Sucks when you have to part with some, but unfortunately we've all done it!. Sounds like you are liking the newer 3000 series, that's good to know!

Newest Cub Addition

So, I've added another Cub to the herd. Came across this 1772 Diesel, and couldn't pass it up. This is how I brought it home, but I do have the tunnel cover, side panels and a correct muffler to put on it. Mechanically, everything is very sound and tight, the hydro works good, the center lift works ...

Re: 782D Inheritance

The 782D is a great tractor, and with that few hours on it, should be in really good shape! The 3 point hitch comes in quite handy for a variety of attachments, and the don't use much fuel at all! When I take mine to plow days, I can run all day on a tank of fuel and still have plenty left to mow gr...

Re: Retiring the 1450 loader cub

Jess, I would have to agree with BB, the 982 with PS. That's the set up I had my loader on and it worked great! I did initially put my loader on a 782, but the larger platform made it much more manageable, especially when you've got the bucket full. The ps is a HUGE help, and you'll often wonder how...
