IIRC, 1812's have front hydraulic ports, and the 1811 just has hydraulic deck/rear lift.
1806 - manual trans shift/lift
1810 - hydro trans w/manual lift
1811 - hydro trans hydro lift (single spool)
1812 - hydro trans hydro lift (dual spool)
If it is truly an 1812, then it will have the front ports and a dual spool valve w/dual control levers. If you do not see the ports or dual control levers, then it is NOT an 1812.
I don't get real excited about anything that has fresh paint on it. Makes me wonder what lies beneath? Also, most people don't take the time to properly prep for paint. It's one thing to rattle can a small part to spruce it up, but when you get into hoods and panels... that's a whole other talk show.
Wish I could help with your value, but that is completely subjective. Around here I would say that a running 1812 would range $400-800 (max). Anything above the $800 mark gets you in the Super Garden Tractor price range.
