After educating myself on these Cubs (1810, 1811, 1812) I see the only difference is, "no hydraulic", "single hydraulics" and "duel hydraulics" and after trying to lift that blower on my 1810, I decided I'm going to have to have add hydraulic lift. After searching Ebay, I found a guy that was selling the valve body and steel lines with a starting bid of one dollar and no bids as of then, so I called the guy to ask him if he had any of the other parts that I would need and he said he was parting out a 1811, so he said he would have everything I needed. So for 69.00 dollars he sold me everything I needed.
After considering the work involved converting this 1810 to a 1811, I decided to completely dismantle the tractor to sand blast and repaint also replace/repair any thing I might find worn or bad. The ONLY thing I planed on not doing was to not rebuild the engine due to the low hr's.
