I need to upgrade the engine in the 1440, the 14hp engine bogs down on my hill and i'm afraid it will be even worse once i install the fan assisted bagger. Small engine warehouse has an 18hp drop in listed but nothing bigger. I was wondering if i could just order the 23hp drop in for a 782 since both tractors run on the same basic frame? What issues might arise that i will need to address?

Driveshaft is the only "issue" I can see, but Jeff can help you with that. Might have issues getting it all under hood though.....

You think the engine will be too wide to fit with the plastic on? The other thought was to put the engine in the 782 and set it up with a super steer axle so I can run the deck from a cyclops.Originally posted by J-Mech View PostDriveshaft is the only "issue" I can see, but Jeff can help you with that.

I was thinking it might be too tall, depending on the air filter setup. I'm not saying it won't fit, just might not. If not, yeah, you could drop it in the 782.Originally posted by olds45512 View Post~Jonathan
