the 1811
 

I picked this up a few weeks ago, 500 hours on the clock.
PO said the driveshaft was vibrating, well I found the bolts for the motor were missing except one. So new bolts and got it to run after a carb clean and new kit.
Then I saw that they recycled some tire sidewalls for new rag joints, mud tires to be exact.
This is a new one for me, It will get fixed with correct ones.

Those mud flaps chunks are so money....:beatdeadhorse:

Looks nice Lew, wanna trade for a 1050?

Tim,
I still have yet to see it move under its own power, but I will think about it.

If your gonna use mud tires for rag joints you need Mud tires for the tractor, every one knows that. Summer tire rag joints for turf's, can't believe what some PO's do. :LMAO1::ROTF1::ROTF2:

I did that in a pinch/temporary deal as my FIL's mustang steer rag joints roached out in my driveway and needed to get it out of there. If you ever want to do something very difficult, try cutting those out of a tire and then drilling the holes........wow, never again

Nice grab! The 1811 is a great machine. Congrats, TB

Nice find Lew.


:Spank:....you know that is a MTD machine and doesn't belong here.:biggrin2:

Yes I know, I enjoyed the show....

Nice Lew!

Just no issues finding Cubs where you are is there. :BlahBlah:

1811's are great tractors!

Good score on the 1811, Lew!

I was able to install a good used driveshaft from another donor so that issue has been resolved, I did put in new ball bushings and roll pins, the rest of the shaft couplers were in good shape, So today I had some time to get the 1811 ready for mowing duties, installed the deck, and cut some grass.

Looks nice Lew.:beerchug:

Wish I had one of those, oh wait I do. Looks good.

Notice how Tim keeps popping up? I think hes reeeeeally hinting at something :biggrin2:

Tim just bought a 784 to play with so Lew is free to keep his 1811 now.:biggrin2:

Nice job Lew, looks pretty sharp!

How you making out on that 784 Tim?
Thanks Doc, not perfect, but it does the job.

Saw one like it on the Craigslist this afternoon. :bigthink: Good looking tractor.:beerchug:

Haven't had time to mess with it yet, hopefully i can tinker with it tomorrow after i finish up the 100.

Looking good Master of Lew.:beerchug:
That's some fine looking lawn you have there. Nice and green, lush, and rather weed free...:bigthink:

The 1811 is looking great, Lew!
