Cub Cadet 782L

Welcome to the 782 with a Johnson Loader

Well, here is how the story goes and I am stickin' to it.  I acquired a 782 with a blown motor thru some horse trading, bought a johnson loader off a Bohlens or Ariens tractor, pulled a 16 horse motor out of a Snapper lawn mower, and had some tires with chains, and some steel laying around - so lets put the stuff together and see what we come up with.

First step was to get the motor in.  Being Cub cadets used the 16 HP Briggs motors in the 582's, it was a relatively simple change out.  The B&S used a grounding kill so just had to hook up a relay to kill the tractor.  The trickiest part was to figure out the wiring for the charging system.  Once I got that running, I had to build a frame to support the loader.  I built it to bolt to the frame and has legs that go back to the rear axle tubes.  Its all made out of 2 1/4 x 1/4 wall tubing.
