Some of you may remember my 1782 that was "too good to part out" from the other site. It was a 1782 diesel I took in trade from CubDieselFan when I sold him my 782DT. The tractor had been rolled over at some point destroying the nose and the radiator. The tractor sat outdoors for a number of years before Greg purchsed it as a parts tractor. Well, after getting Greg's 1572 delivered last week, I thought it best if I got back onto one of my projects. The 1782 has been patiently waiting for attention, so I dug in and finished the under hood stuff, welded up a muffler and took it out for a "road test" even though the fender pan is just sitting on the frame and there is no seat yet. It ran get and everything worked fine. After testing, I pulled it back into the shop to address servicing the rear axle and hydro. I had planned to do a cork gasket and replace the axle seals, but after getting into it I found the shaft seals on the hydro were seeping, so a total re-seal is in order.
The fluid looks pretty funky and smelled terrible! Stay tuned! load2.jpegalmost2.jpegalmost1.jpegalmost3.jpeg
