782D

At some point in early 2007, I decided I wanted to have a diesel Cub Cadet. I picked this little gem up off of ebay in April 2007. It took me awhile to reverse some of the previous owner's alterations, and I also had to completely rebuild the 50" deck and the driveshaft, but it was well worth it. The tractor looks great and has only about 740 hours on it. This is an absolutely amazing tractor. It has a 15 h.p. 3-cylinder water-cooled Kubota D600B diesel engine. The tractor also has hydraulic lift and front aux. outlets. It'll do anything you ask of it on half the fuel of a gas 782. It runs glass smooth and very quietly. If you ever have a chance to own one of these, buy it! You won't regret it. I just picked up a Category 0 3-point for it, and I'm in the process of installing it.



Here's a few more pictures. The first one was taken after I brought it home. I'm not sure what the previous owner was thinking. The last picture is the deck after restoration.
