And Then There Were Two - Another Cub Cadet 782, and Another GoPro!

- Now coming to you through a GoPro Hero 8! I decided my old trusty GoPro Hero+ was due for an upgrade as it was pretty outdated. I bought the Hero 8 and plan to use both GoPro's together in some future videos. I'm impressed with the video and sound quality so far. Let me know what you think!
Sometimes, one just isn't enough. My CCC-built 782 needed a companion since I sold my 882 diesel last summer, so I thought it might be a good idea to find an older IH-built 782 to go alongside it. The red IH Cub Cadet garden tractors are hard to find in my neck of the woods (I only know of one or two around), and when a friend of mine put this one up for grabs, I couldn't refuse. I needed another garden tractor like I needed a hole in my head, but the deal just seemed right. It came with no attachments and I don't really have a plan for it, although I may be working a trade deal for a tractor of another color (stay tuned).
This red 782 was built in June 1980 and is in very nice original condition, with the exception of new front tires and a replacement Kohler Magnum 18 engine. It mowed a trailer park outside of Baltimore most of its life. Like most 782's (including my other one), it was a victim of the Kohler KT17 rod failure some years ago, and the KT17 was replaced with a good-running M18 out of a 1993 Snapper tractor. The Magnum engines are a popular repower option for these tractors since they're physically identical to the original KT engines and don't require any modification, aside from a couple small wiring changes. This one starts and runs great after a carb adjustment. The tractor overall is very clean and doesn't smoke, knock, or leak any fluids, and despite its age and some scratches in the paint, looks to have been very taken care of. I really just wanted the tractor for the purpose of making this video, as it looks pretty sharp next to the other 782 (which is also in its original paint). We'll see what comes out of this deal...someday down the road I hope to end up with a red 982, if I can find one. - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
great video! love your collection, as it showcases a variety of the classic garden tractors. Glad you bought the red, IH, original 782. Really complements your custom, yellow, CCC 782.
Thanks! I think this video is the sole reason I wanted to buy it lol
@@MichaelTJD60 oop lol
I love the spread frame cubs. Have fun with them!
Great Video my friend Big like from Romania 🔝📽👏👍❤
Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed it.
Love those Cub Cadet garden tractors!
Beauties !!
I do miss the sound of the Magnums, I'd like to get a Magnum twin again
I enjoy the sound of the Magnums. But the Onans sound just a wee bit better.
I got a Magnum engine for free & another broken blown magnum to robbed the carburetor, starter & coil from, so in theory I should have a good engine. Haven’t gotten around to getting it & my spare K301 on a pallot in my barn.
@@MichaelTJD60 you should do a comparison video of running the onan and kohler m18 together and seeing which one sounds better and which one has more power.
@@zacharycoslic1274 That's a good idea. I would like to buy a temperature gun and a tachometer so I could compare the heat transfer and speed of both engines when under a load.
Well, they may sound good...but they drink A LOT of fuel. I know from experience.
Looks good.
I would love to get rid of my random lawn tractors and continue the fleet with my 1811 that Kohler magnum aside from flooding runs absolutely beautiful
I don't deal much with lawn tractors anymore, I try to stick to garden tractors if I can help it. An 1811 is a great start to a fleet. They're really just an updated 782,
@@MichaelTJD60 yeah but hey I mean they are free lawn tractors so I’ll lake them and they are good to modify and cruise around our business property and stuff but I want to switch over to more garden tractors and I have the red ih 582 plus the John Deere 68
@@hunter7476 I'd like to get my hands on a 582 down the road. Preferably a white and yellow one. Would like to Onan swap it and turn it into a puller.
@@MichaelTJD60 my pop pop has one supposedly when he bought it and the dealer dropped it off they gave him the wrong one it was supposed to be red and he told them that this is the one he’s keeping they dropped it off and his dad owned a red one so this is the one he got apparently they seem hard to find because I can’t find Mitch about the ccc ones only red
@@MichaelTJD60 I gotta disagree in that one the Briggs engines are good IMO you can’t kill them I’ve done a lot of stuff they said for 15 years rebuilt the carb and pump and put new intake gaskets in her she fires right up and runs great even after 8 months
Nice tractors and great info on the Kohler engines! Keep up the great content and hopefully, we can see more action with two GoPros :D
Thank you!
Those Cubs are nice!!
Hi Michael I hope everything is going well you have a nice camera takes great pictures nice tractor that you picked up it looks like you’re doing great that’s awesome
Thanks Dean. Things are going pretty well here lately considering what's been going on in the family. Glad you are liking the new camera and the new tractor.
Great looking little tractor, we don't see many in my area down south!
Thanks, they certainly don't seem to be as common down south.
I really enjoyed this video. 👍🏻 I would like to see a video where you service the tractor(s) with fluid changes, greasing and or replacement of parts. 🤟🏻🙌🏻
I may have to try that in the future. I tried doing tutorial/walk-through videos in the past but something would always go wrong on camera. But I may have to give it another shot.
@@MichaelTJD60 👍🏻
That thing is so damn clean.....
It sure is. I couldn't believe how clean it was when I went to pick it up.
Nice vid man good lookin tractor
Thanks.
Man that's nice. Can't get them like that anymore
I heard you mention the tractor being built on a Monday and it made me think of this. I have a 2003 Craftsman LT2000 that was built on a Monday, and the rear decal that says, "Craftsman" was slightly misplaced. Mine is a bit higher up and possibly a bit to the side as well. The ones on the grille were starting to peel when I got it, so I put it under some water and scrubbed the stuck dirt off the back with a tooth brush, and they stuck again. Anyways, whoever was on decals that day was not doing to well.
I've seen that on a handful of tractors. I'm almost certain this 782 was built on a Monday - not only is the IH decal off-center, but the serial number was stamped in the wrong spot on the tag. I've even seen a few of these tractors with a different decal on each side of the hood - one had a 582 decal on one side and a 782 decal on the other, and the owner swore it was all original.
I want one so bad! Also I loved the vid!
Thanks! Hopefully you'll have better luck finding one than I have had finding nice 82 series tractors. This red 782 was the closest one I could find, I've had to travel for others.
Very nice red IH Cub. Don't see many of those around. It is a very nice original survivor.
It sure was one of the nicer original red 82 series tractors I've seen, despite having a newer engine and newer front tires.
212 John Deere is my Favorite
Nice, I just got a 782 as well. Someone swapped a magnum in mine as well.
I bet it was a victim of the KT17 rod failure. The M18 is a better engine, just keep plenty of oil in it and don't let it overheat.
I knew there was an oh cub nice find
Thanks.
If I'm not mistaken the pto clutch had adjustable bolts on the back side of the coil that you could adjust the air gap . Might take a look see .
This particular clutch did not have the adjustment nuts. It was a non-adjustable unit.
Just wait. First its 1 Cub Cadet then 2 Cub Cadets then the next thing you know its a lot of Cub Cadets. Nice addition. You cant go wrong with the red 82 Series. I think you need a 982 Super with the Onan as well. Lol. I still need some green to go with my Cubs, Just have not found the right one yet.
If I don't buy another diesel Cub, the next one I buy will probably be a 982. I looked at a 1912 a couple weeks ago but had to pass.
I wonder, of those engines that would score a bearing how many were really topped off on oil ?... How many were running a bit low on oil?
That's a possibility, but another possibility that nobody thinks about is how these engines pack full of debris over time and overheat as a result. I've heard that a lot of these engines threw rods as a result of packed cooling fins (overheating) in conjunction with the lack of oil.
Thats what i have in my 317 , engines are beast , mine runs like a clock , it could be 20 below 0 and will start in like 2 turns of the engine , runs perfect and ya cant bog it down .. i also have the adjustable carb .but i have a remote oil filter from a cub .. does that have dual spool hydraulics ? And also you probably know this but surging is remnant of a lean condition..
This one doesn't have dual spool hydraulics, but my other 782 does. The surging on the Onan engine is more likely because of a leaking intake manifold, but I've gone through it and checked it over multiple times. I may try adjusting the carb as a last resort.
Are you talking about Cody in St.Francis ? If you are he is a great guy , I purchased CC and outboards from him and he’s purchased outboards from me , he stopped over to look at my 982 last week , I purchased a CC1250 from him . I’m liking for the hard cab for the 982 !
Different Cody - his TH-cam channel is GARDEN TRACTOR GEEK.
👍🏼👍🏼
The seat of the red one does not look terrible. Keep it on.
Normally I would be inclined to replace the seat, but I think it matches the original patina really well, so I'll be leaving it on there.
I have a 129 Cub Cadet I am putting a Honda GX 390 on it. that interesting to see a Kohler magnum from a snapper put into a cub cadet I have a Gravely with a kt19 series 2 Kohler I just have to replace the coil and reset/repair the points and it will run fine
What's the reason for putting a Honda in it? Is the original Kohler blown?
its just a crazy idea in my mind I dont have the origional Kohler to it sadly
@@JohannZ100 they are pretty easy to find if you want to keep it original.
@@MichaelTJD60 they are I'm not worried about keeping it original its a experimental project is what it is it still be a cub cadet has the ih axle on it only thing different will be the motor and a few other things
Nice Red 782 you've got there, now that you have it, will that be the new mowing tractor as opposed to the yellow 782?
This is outdated by a couple months. I traded this for another tractor which I have since sold.
Would the Cub cadet have a problem with governor?
This particular model? Yes, the Kohler opposed twin engines had issues with the plastic governor gears stripping out, even on the newer Magnum series engines that were used for repowers in these tractors. I worked on another 782 with one of the Magnum engines (not the same tractor in this video) and it had a bad governor gear so the only way to keep the engine from over-revving was to use a second spring to hold the governor arm in place.
You should swap the engines between the two machines.
That would defeat the purpose of the custom "318 wannabe" build for the white one though...
@@MichaelTJD60 True
Hey, I sent you a link to the videos of the 318’s in the comments section of the snow storm day one video
What size front tires and rims are on your ccc built 782?
Tires are 170/60-8 which is the metric equivalent of 16x6.50-8. They're on the stock 8" wheels.
@@MichaelTJD60 Thanks Michael
Can we get a 210 update? Haven’t seen it in a while.
I'll have to bring it out of hibernation soon. It hasn't run for probably 4 or 5 months now.
What happened to your diesel cub cadet tractor
I sold it back in July. One of the only machines I regret selling, but it had to be done.
I don't know what it is about some garden tractor engines some of them surge like crazy and seem to have a mind of their own and some don't surge at all
The Onan engines are known for surging because of the split intake manifolds, but I don't know why this one continues to do it - I've split and resealed the manifold and the carb is new. I'm thinking it's the fuel.
What about the fuel pump we’ve had our1811s splitter surge and carry on after the fuel pump replaced ran good
@@hunter7476 Doubt it, I know for a fact the pump works properly and the vacuum line from the crankcase isn't plugged. The fuel pumps on the Kohler twins can be a nightmare. They're mounted on top of the engine, so if they flood or the diaphragm sticks, it fills the crankcase with gas. Great way to lose an engine.
Michael JD60 are you going to do any lawnboy mowing videos you still in college???
I don't have my LawnBoy anymore, I traded it probably a year ago now. I graduated college and will be moving out to Pennsylvania next week for my job.
@@MichaelTJD60 whats your new job ??? are you going to get another lawn boy after you get your own place???? and congrats
@@snoopysrc Thanks. I will be working in equipment sales. I might find an old LawnBoy to fix up and tinker with.
She sounds just like my 1811
This is pretty much exactly what became the 1811. Great tractors...the one I had a few years ago was a nice runner once I got it all fixed up.
You should get a deck for it
Now I'm wishing I never sold the deck from the other 782. Oh well. I have to figure out the PTO issue first.
Don't get rid of it keep her.
It's already gone. Traded it two days ago. I'll probably have another one someday.
@@MichaelTJD60 ok can't wait to see what you traded for.😏
784?
The white and yellow one is technically a 784, by CCC standards, as it has dual remotes.
MichaelTJD60 . I actually own one. My grandpa bought it new. Wish I could find somebody to restore it.
@@dsarg82 That's cool that your grandpa bought it new. Definitely one to keep around. What all does it need?
MichaelTJD60. It is complete. Just rough around the edges. Needs paint, seat. More cosmetic then anything
