1782 need advise

[Dan Colonel]

I was out hunting for 169 “stuff” and ran across this 1782. Currently has a snow blade but no deck. Any chance
of finding a deck and any idea on a cost ? Tractor seems to run out good, I believe it is worth a deck. Unsure of what size deck should
be under it, maybe a 48” ?

Haban 60" decks were common, but 44C, 50C or Cyclops era "GT" deck will work with the correct mule drive/deck hangars.

Thank you for the info. appreciate the help.

That looks like a big cap on the tank so probably a 6" pulley, so you're gonna likely need a late Haban 60" or a 46/48/54 GT deck unless you want to hunt down a smaller pulley for either the deck or the PTO, or risk running a 44/50C at 50% overspeed.

Very much depends on location and condition on decks, but anywhere from 50-300.

That's a very nice, well optioned machine, probably worth 2k+.

Thank you so much for your help. I will keep a post going on progress. My son has adopted this machine. That means I will be helping him along. The old 169 is enough of a project for me.
