Because one 782 isn't enough...

My dad picked this up for me at an auction today. It also came with a deck and some tire chains and other random spare parts. I think the cab is actually for a super...

The blade is power angle. It has a supposedly rebuilt series II engine. Too bad I don't get to see it until the middle of May, at the earliest.

Hook me up with an A/c unit on it and Ill buy it from you to cut grass! I would be nice for them 100 deg days down here

Nice looking 782 Matt!

That's a Sims cab. Can be used on supers and GTs. The one I have on my cyclops is the next version. It also fit's both.
Yours does have the steel/glass doors which I want to find/make for mine.

The only item that is hard to find is the wiper blade.
I added LED lights to mine for work lights and warning lights.

Have you figured out how to open the hood ???

[rweaver]

those cabs the bolts come out of the front part and it tilts out from the bottom then you can open the hood on the ones I had

Steve-

I talked to my Dad about it last night...he may try to open it. I won't be home for a couple of months unfortunately.

Hey Matt
Do you think your dad would be willing to adopt an older son??? It was worth a try That's a real nice find. It's gonna be tough to be away for so long knowing that your 782 is waiting for you
I'm waiting for the rims to come back from the media blaster and I should be able to finish the 782 I'm working on. Ya, I know the garage needs cleaned up

Seems like it 782 fest lately. Everyone is either buying them or fixing them up. My 782 project is just a little more finished than yours Mike. hopefully I can roll it out of the basement soon and get pics.

Hey AJ
I hope your basement isn't one of those underground ones. If so you may be doing a Johnny Cash..."one piece at a time" removal

Matt,
Looking good!!
That cab will come in handy when the snow flies and it will....
Mike Lamar,
I have a 782 and a 582 that needs some paint!!.
You do nice work!!Now about that Bicycle...

I got around to putting this on my 1872 today after undoing most of the mods the PO did to kludge it onto the 782 (which actually turned out to be a repainted 1712). There is NO WAY this cab fits both the GTs and SGTs... The PO did a lot of modifying to get it onto the 1712; luckily, most of them were easy to undo.

Since I couldn't find any installation instructions, I took a lot of pictures and will make up some pictorial installation instructions and toss them up on my website at some point. The front is hinged about 2/3 of the way up and swings out of the way so the hood can be opened. It wasn't working on the other tractor because it didn't fit the tractor right, for one, and two, because the cab wasn't assembled right. Here's a couple of pictures...
