Found nearly new 1864 need side panels and guidance
Hello All,
Mostly lurk/research here to keep my 1811 going and see what others are dong to their machines. The 1811 has been a great tractor but needs attention from time to time - like plug wires, fuel pump and general maintenance. I did refurb the 1811 in 2009 in the pic - its still in similar shape today, but got a Ferris ZT in 2010 that does all the mowing now.
The 1811 is general purpose hauling wood, mosquito spray rig for our property.
My wife who follows estate sales for pottery and antiques, sent a link (on Friday) for an estate sale today for a CC 1864, a 1993 vintage with 175 hours on the clock, 44" deck and the large CC cart.
The listing had the original bill of sale $5700 and all the manuals, so I figured this is not going low. Arrived at the auction 30 minutes before opening, and numbers were being provided, Oh crap.. well the auctioneer said that was for all the other small stuff, not the big stuff in the yard.
Long and short, the Cub Cart and 1864 now have a new home, and it starts/runs perfectly, and has no leaks, just needs some deck work, and cosmetics.
The left side panel has a small break in the front, and is missing the connector at the top so I need a new left side panel. The plastic is also discolored over time, so looking to replace both sides and the decals to keep it original.
Where to find the side panels?
Finally, I don't need or have space to store two Cub's long term, so which one to sell - the 1811 or the 1864?
Thanks in advance!
