I actually never set out to have a complete series. And if you want to be really technical, I still haven't. But for my purpose, it is complete. My brother found a 782 behind the maintenance shed at his new job. (He us a worship pastor.) Long story short, maintenance guy saw him eyeing it and offered it to him. Said it was given to the church, but they really had no use for it. He had used it to tote lawn carts and such for a while, but got tired of it taking up room with in the building, so he parked it outside the prior fall. The guy offered it to my brother and he took it. I had done some work of my bro's van and motorcycle so he gave it to me for helping him out.
Anyway... I got it home today. Me and my buddy got it running if a few minutes. Charged the low battery, and flushed the water out of the fuel tank. Fired right up! It needs some attention. Mostly adjustments, and an oil change. Rear end actually looks like new oil, and smells like hy-tran. It has a KT Series II replacement engine. Hour meter shows 900 hours. Seems legit. Plan is to put a 50" deck on it and kill grass.
This is a late CCC built 782. I now have a 582, 682, 782 and a 982. Two are CCC, two are IH built. Maybe someday I can find two IH's to replace the two CCC tractors. Not sure if I want a 482. I had passed on one some time back, even though they were listed as GT's. So although I don't have a 1,2,3 or482... I'm going to say I have the 82 GT series completed.
Sorry for only 1 pic. Storm was coming, so we didn't have a lot of time.
