Default First Cub Cadet 1811

I recently purchased an 1811 with mower deck, bagging system, and snowblower. This is my first cub. It only has 335 hrs. There is still yellow paint on the bottom of the mower deck. What are the weak things to look at on these tractors?

First, welcome to OCC......

The 1811 was one of the best series of tractors CCC/MTD built. Like with anything, the amount of care and maintenance is important.

The one of issues that we see frequently, is the amount dirt, debris, crud, grease, oil, grass clippings sucked up into the Fan intake and building up around the Flywheel. Unfortunately, the only inspection that can be done, is to remove the engine from the tractor and remove the shrouds for inspection and cleaning.

Blowing compressed air into that area (while still in the tractor) is better than nothing, but won't get into every area.

Other than that, the normal maintenance should be done.

First welcome to OCC. My 1'st 1811 dad gave me. The 2'nd was for parts but it runs to good, still running since 2012. Bought a 1872 because everyone needs a super GT. Then a 2072 just because. I can stop at anytime. The 1811 is as solid as they come. Hang around the OCC site and do some reading and ask questions. OH and we love pictures.

Thanks for the welcome to the forum. Is there anyone that makes a 3 point setup for the 1811?

Member Jeff in PA might be able to make a 3 point hitch. Check the link "Parts by Jeff" at the top of the page.
Also, make sure you post some pictures.

Congrats and welcome! I will vouch for xtreme motorworks, I know he makes a 3 point kit. Pricey, but if it matches the tiller adapter I got from him, well built. As always, check the sponsors at the top of the page!

you got yourself a good tractor, and very low hours are a plus. Looks like a keeper.
I would also add, check the bolts in the back where the diff is attached to the frame. I've seen damage done by having loose bolts.
Pop the tunnel cover off, make sure your cooling fan is intact, and that there isn't a bunch of debris hanging around the pump fins. Change the filter and fluid in the rear, as well as the engine would be a good idea...
Have fun.

With the Mag engine just insure the breather is clear as it can cause excess pressure and blow out the crankseal....Then you have a mess.... Trust me.... My 1872 with the Mag 18 was a workhorse.... normal stuff like the fuel pump and remote oil lines need to be checked once in a while for seepage.... some like replacing the carb with one that is more adjustable.... I place the 1811 on the same platform as the JD 317.... Great tractors....

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
