Cub Cadet Collectors dot com

hey guys, i have the opportunity to buy a 782D from a local farmer, tractor came from my dealer along time a go when they sold cub cadet, i haven't gone out and looked at it yet but im told it needs a throttle cable, is there anything special or unique about these red 782's. im really looking forward to adding another diesel to the line up. i will try get out to the farm and get some pictures for you guys

That sounds neat. I thought I heard somewhere that the throttle cable for the diesels are hard to find? I'm sure you know from your other smoker that it's not a standard cable. I'm not real familiar with the whole setup. Keep us posted!

ended up at the farm to look at his combine today and decided to take a few pictures. I'm really impressed with how this red cub looks, the hour meter i think works i can hear it ticking. looking forward to getting this one running!

Wow.....nice! That sure surprised me. When you said farm....i thought beat up. Not the case.

I'd grab that one!

Cables are still available. Just got a new throttle cable from Messicks for my 1572. I think the shutdown said available too.

Albie,

I was almost certain that one of the 782D cables was no longer available. But looking at Messicks it seems like both may be still available.

Messicks`s and I have a love - hate relationship... On my Simplicity`s I would find the parts on their site that no one had and boy did I love that... then 3 weeks later I would get an e-mail with a credit statement saying the part was no longer available is where the hate came in. I would call ahead and speak to someone directly. Happened to me several times... It did not happen all of the time but when it did GRRRRRR.

My 2 cents...
