    Gardening: equipment and planning

    I have a couple of questions as I plan my first large scale (3/4 acre) garden: 1. How much do you plant? I plan on storing most of what I grow for winter use to feed my family of 6. 2. I have a 1450 with a tiller and a 782 to play in the garden with. What equipment do you have, or have...

    Sheds and Shops

    I am planning a shed/shop for the backyard. I have a 10x12 right now, which just isn't enough space for my 2 tractors, plus yard toys, go-kart, etc. My wife would prefer I don't do smelly tractor work in the attached garage. Any chance I could get some pictures of what you all have built...

    Points

    I have had the reoccurring problem of the tractor running fine, then the next time I start it, I have to adjust the points to get it to go, as in there is no fire until I do. Why would this keep happening? I am tightening the screw has hard as I can. This is a PITA to do all the time. Thanks.

    Garage redo

    We are finishing up a kitchen renovation, which means no money for anything else. Anyway, I am putting the old cabinets in the garage to set up as a small workshop. What do you all recommend for a small workshop set up? As in, if you set up a shop in the past, what would you do over or...

    680??

    I was at a swap meet when I came across a 680. The stickers looked real and the seller told me that it was a scaled down 682. It had a single cylinder Kohler engine, but otherwise was a 682. Is this legit? Rare? Should have bought it? No price was listed, so I can't answer that question.

    Blowing oil

    My machine switched all on it's own from blowing a hint of oil at throttle up, to blowing massive oil smoke at throttle down after mowing. What's going on here? THis is the tractor I asked about earlier that has oil in the aircleaner base. My plan is to pull the motor to give it a once...

    2nd opinion from all of you

    My 782 smokes when reving up the engine. Otherwise, it runs fine. I just bought it last November, and today, was changing the plugs. They were melted at the tip and had black crud built up all over them. Also, my air cleaner base is full of oil and the top of the engine is covered in oil...

    Correct frame color for yellow 782

    In my tractors previous life, someone painted it. Now the yellow on the rear end and front axle is peeling off and showing a black layer underneath. is black correct? I believe my machine to be early in the switch over, so I wasn't sure if maybe they just painted over the red 782 parts for...

    PTO switch

    Since my question was bowled over in the main forum and ignored, I'll try here. When I turn the key, nothing happens. I checked the fuse, it's okay. Seems like a safety switch problem. So, I played with the PTO switch, and it turned over! Before I purchase a new switch, is there another...

    Cold starting

    My red 782 always started like a champ in all tempratures. My new yellow one, however, takes a bit of work to get to fire up when temps drop below 20 degrees (or at -1 like this morning). What might I need to do to help my cold firing? Thanks.

    Yellow 782

    I just bought a yellow 782 that will be delivered at thanksgiving. Is there really any difference between it and my red 782? I don't have any year information as of yet. Sad thing is, I am trading off my red 782 for this yellow one. I bought the yellow tractor for what I could buy an...

    Briggs rebuild

    I put new rings, valves, etc in the briggs for my Spirit of 76. I was able to get it to turn over with the new starter a couple of times, then cough once. Now I can't get it to turn over. So, I took it apart again, and with the bottom cover and the head off, I have a dog of a time spinning...

    Looking at a 982

    One has a Kohler, the other an Onan. The tractor with the Onan has a 3-pt and PTO. I also can get a tiller with it. The Kohler tractor comes with wheel weights, a thrower, and a 60 inch deck. Which would you buy?

    People think I am crazy....

    I am selling my 55 Ford F-100 to make room for my new found Cub habit. I can't think of a better way to teach my young boys how to fix things than with garden tractors. The truck takes up half the garage, taking away our room to work on Cubs. The deal I made with my wife was if the truck...

    IH Cadet 76 parts

    I just bought one of these for next to nothing. It needs some TLC, and a few parts. What kind of availablity is there for parts for these? Motor smokes bad, should I rebuild it, or go new. I bought this for my 10 year old to help me mow with.
