Hi guys ,

This is my first post but I have been reading and learning like crazy for awhile now . I bought my first cub this past May. It is an 1812 that has 493 hours on it that I bought out of York , Pa. It has a 44C mower deck and I got a 45" 451 snow-blower with it also . I started to got over the tractor to do maintenance items ( it was female owned ) well the mower belt was broke in two under the cover ( it was packed tight with clipping) allowing only the center blade to be cutting and the blades themselves were horrible ( new blades are 15 1/8 long ) these were only 11" at best . So i noticed the battery had caused some rust on the frame so i decided to paint it and well one thing lead to another and hears the result .

Thanks , it was a rattle can restoration . I used tractor supply Majik cub cadet yellow and Krylon appliance epoxy paint for the white( 3$ a can at wal-mart clearance isle ) I pulled all the tins and lowered the rear end to paint it but didn't pull the motor . next time it will be taken down to the frame . I added the rear BKT tires after sliding down the hill behind my house on the factory turf tires , now i need to brake them down to add the washer fluid i got at wal-mart .

Welcome to OCC! You did a great job on your 1812!

I'm already eying up my next project . my work has either a 1872 or a 2072 SGT with a Kwik Way loader they are getting rid of . If i get it i may part out the loader as i have a Gehl skid loader to do any heavy lifting . So the disease has started . :OhOh::
