    Has anyone come up with an ingenious way to hang a few suitcase weights on the back of a stock 782 over the hitch or general area to add weight for throwing snow this winter? There are a few holes in the vertical metal on either side and seems the area is solid enough to be able to make some...

    Replacing cross piece in universal on H42 thrower -- I have finally gotten the old family H42 (powered by the 782 I grew up with) sandblasted, bent the auger back straight, primed and a coat of 935 white (WHITE?, looks almond to me...) on the thrower. I am trying to replace the cross piece...

    Wonderful truck. We have a 55 IH that is like a battleship. Got hit by a mustang car once with it and I had to look for damage, while, literally, the car was markedly damaged. My nephew is currently in the restoration of it after sitting for quite a few years. Learned to drive in that truck...

    Wheel weights for a 782 I'm getting tired of sitting way up high on three or four bags of sand just to keep a little traction on the rear tires on my 782 with the snowthrower on the front. A "local" (about 1/2 hour away) Case IH dealer says he thinks he has a source for new manufacture...

    Kraig -- What a great job on the thrower A great picture. Sort of what I want mine to look like by next fall. Can you comment on how many hours you guess you put into the project? I know it could run many more depending upon facilities, time to work constantly, tools, energy, wife's...

    Distance throwing Just found an older picture of the 782 throwing. My wife isn't that great of a photographer (yet) and it was early morning, so the quality isn't great, but it does show how the little snow I had and as light as it was made for pretty good distance.

    Attn: Cody What I use for chute coatings I don't know what anyone else uses (I've heard of PAM cooking oil spray, olive oil, etc.) I think one of the guys here mentioned that he used the liquid car wax, so last year I saw a squeeze bottle of some on sale at Farm and Fleet, so I bought...

    Kraig (or other photo collectors): Any 782 pix of Kirk dual Bosch coil installations? I just got Kirk Engine's dual coil and ignition set to put on my 782. As I look it over, and not being a mechanical genius, I'm wondering if there are better places than others to mount the coils and run...

    Any pictures of how to mount the blue coils? I'm hoping to put a dual Bosch coil set and a dual point saver from Kirk Engines on my 782 before cold and snow season. I looked in the fAQ's but didn't see any listing of pictures on how some of the more clever people have gone about doing a...

    Sweeper question: I am looking at a sweeper (front mounted power brush) for my wide framed 782. Some time ago a posting was made in the for sale section of one, but didn't fit the time and pocket book criteria to call for it. Were the units that are out there made by Cub or were they add...

    Very clever -- pulley alignment Very nice way to let it run in, so to speak, and self align. I'm pretty sure the pulley is the original equipment. I assume you mean 5/8" width since the diameter of the pulley itself (I'm guessing from best memory) is about 6" in diameter. I know there has...

    Advice on the best way to align pulleys on 782 I have a 782 with a Q42 thrower. The pulley that is on the gearbox that accepts the belt from the electric clutch has a little set screw that holds the machine key onto the shaft coming out of the gearbox. The screw has loosened, and allows the...

    Parts explosion Sorry I don't usually cause a stir. I am a casual reader and must admit that I wasn't aware of the online source. I've now bookmarked it and will no doubt find reason to use it in the future. But.. What an amazing thing! I am as calloused as anyone else in this...

    Request for parts diagram for bearing for H-42 I have an H-42 on a 782 and I heard the roller chain rattling against the inner shield for the auger, and found that the outer bearing that holds the shaft from the universal to the drive gear had disintegrated. It was being held on only by the...

    Chris Thanks for the hint at looking up his picture. It shows nicely, now I will have to trek out to the shed to see what my rig looks like, I haven't memorized it. As a matter of fact it is still sitting in FRONT of the tractor, not mounted yet and the way the forecast is, it may be that way...
