I used Meguiar's mirror glaze and a buffer to clean up years if oxidation on the new to me 782. I have the mower deck off for cleaning and refurbishing. I have a spindle bearing that needs attention. I bought a sleeve hitch bracket from xtrememotorworks for the aluminum differential. It looks great, I will paint and install soon. Previous owner had the left side foot rest pad but no luck on the right side. Part 723-3007. Sent an email to our sponsors - hopefully it went through.
