Hello. I'm new here and had a few questions. I recently picked up an 1811 that needs a lot of work. It's in rough shape cosmetically but the engine and trans are still going hard. I plan on totaly rebuilding and could use some help.

My first item of concern...I'm trying to pick up an additional set of rear wheels and want to know if a set of JD 24x10.5x12 wheels will cause any concerns on the Cub. There's only an inch difference. I know they're not Cub wheels, but funds are tight and the price is right. They would be used to put AG tires on for the garden.

Second...the steering won't turn the same distance to the right as to the left. When I turn it to the right and kick the left wheel, it will almost finish the travel to the stop but not quite. I've cleaned all the built up dirt away but it's still not 100%. Is there a way to adjust the steering to fix this?

Third...can I adjust the Hydro trans? When the trans lever is in the neutral postition the tractor wants to reverse. I have to put the lever forward about half an inch to get it to sit still. When I apply the brake or use the Hydro lift, I can hear and feel the trans trying to move the tractor. This can't be good. Am I destined to have to replace the trans plate or springs?

These forums are a new thing to me. I appreciate any and all assistance relating to forum and the Cub.

Thanks,
Joel
