I don"t remember where I heard it (possibly on here???), but I know someone said not to put a rear tiller on the 82 series cub cadets because it will trash out the rear aluminum housings. I sure would like to put mine on my 782 though. It"s not like I"m tilling 40 acres a year. Just my little garden and maybe the in-laws once in the spring. Its a pretty nice 782 though, I"d hate to crack a housing. I considered swapping out the alum rear with a cast one from an old parts 1650 I have. Would it be worth the effort? Or would I be ok with the alum one for the little bit I do. BTW, buying another old cub is NOT AN OPTION!! (wifey made that point very clear, I already got 5:)
 
On my 782 i added a rear plate from frame to frame and put my abgle gear box and hitch on it. No presure on the rear end. Kent
 
I have had Cub Cadets 782s for 30 years and never have had trouble with the rear ends. I have a tiller on one all the time and never take it off. I have one with a snow blower and that one stays on all the time. The only people that have ever had rear end problems are pullers.

The 782 had two types of rear ends in them. From the IH design (S/N: 665001 to 719999) was a Cast Iron rear end. From the CCC/MTD Design (S/N 720000 & Up) was an Aluminum Rear end.

The IH tillers were designed only for the Cast Iron rear ends.
