New to me 782
I found this on Craigslist with tiller and deck, non running $50. 3 hr drive but well worth it.

It’s had some sun but real straight all four hubcaps in tack. Missing tiller gear box. 20 something kid said it was grandpa’s and mom was going to haul it to scrap. Said grandpa rebuilt engine and in same breath said it’s blown up! We’ll see

Re: New to me 782
Lol....it's some sort of space aged polymers that turns your old junkyard car (or tractor) into a show room new ride. It's really a form of magic. Big Mike turned me on to this. He used to buy nice looking cars....now he shops for cars at the bargin lot and tries to make them "like new....with wipe new".

Re: New to me 782
I'm amazed that people will go to 'big box' stores and drop well over a grand on essentially an overpowered self-propelled walk-behind with a seat... when there's machines easily ten times more robust to be had for a hundred or two.... thanks for saving it! If it needs power... I'll put in a suggestion for Honda GX660. Dunno how easy it'll fit under the hood, but I'm very pleased with it's performance and manners in Loader-Mutt.
Yes, I'm a Mad Scientist... but I'm usually happy, even when things ain't goin right.

I don’t get it either but hey it keeps the prices down on these treasures! I would like to find a m18 for it. Pretty straight forward swap. I have one I my 1872 and love the torque. check out Wenatchee wa Craigslist guy has 5 tractors with attachments best offer!
