New Semi-Barn Find 1811
 

Have not been on here much guys been working many, many hours, but did happen to get lucky enough to find this really nice 1811 tractor.
It appears to have been restored by someone, hopefully by a member on this site. Bought it from a lady in Holtwood, Pa that had bought it from a church member a couple of years ago. It was kept in their barn and only used for some minor trimming around the property.
Starts well, hour meter shows 1800 hours but there is absolutely no way this tractor has that many hours. Whoever restored it really showed it some love. I mean this thing is in great shape and mows just awesome. Got just a few things to do to it that I have found so far:
1) Brake linkage does not pull back to return so good.
2) Surges a little much a low idle.
3) Deck overall is in excellent shape but the pulleys are rusted and it already
ate one belt.
4) AND before someone else points it out I KNOW it has an IH emblem that has to be removed, will do that when I get a real CC emblem.
That is all that I have found for now, if anyone on here knows any history on the tractor, I certainly would like to hear about it. SER # is 772085

Nice find! :beerchug:

Nice find on the 1811, looks good.:beerchug:

Nice 1811! Congratulations great find

Very nice Joe,does it have the CCC decal on the fender?

BIGMOZEKE, Congrats on the nice, nice, find.:High5:

Thanks guys, the tractor had been reprinted there is no CC decal anywhere. I am having some trouble getting the deck leveled out. Got it close enough today to mow and it mows great just not even and I dont have hardly any range of lift height.

I would have bet money that a member on this site was the person that restored this machine. The lady that I bought it from said that she was getting tons of phone calls on this and was happy to make them stop.

That is one nice 1811.
