Default Might be the new owner of a 1811

Well long story short, I've got a guy that might be trading his CC 1811 for my 70. He says it runs good and has 900hrs on it. Been kept indoors it's whole life and has the 50" deck with it. He's supposed to be coming over tomorrow to possibly trade. So I was wondering what are things I should be looking for problem wise on his 1811? I'm getting pretty excited moving up to bigger and better things . Is it bad that I'm already picturing it in red

Sounds like a good trade. I'd check the tranny bolts, they get loose. Also, check the engine oil, and make sure no gas is in the oil. If gas is in the oil, you may need a new fuel pump, or a carb rebuild. The 1811 will make you a nice tractor. Good luck!

They are good tractors. Like Allen said look at the bolts that hold the trans/ rear in the frame,they have been known to work loose then people overtighen them and strip out the threds. Also look at engine mounting plate to frame bolts, they also work out. My 1811 had a few engine bolts missing but did not see any damage from this. Good luck. Dave

I've had mine for about three years and it is still going strong. They are real civilized tractors with out a lot of issues to worry about. I added power steering to mine and it made it better but even with the manual steering it is the top of the line three turn system that make turning easier than the two turn models. You can add several things to the rear for more help around the home like my fork lift. I use it to carry heavy things and to mount my electric spray rig on for spring time spraying.

That's a no brainer. I would also trade him. That was one of the best gas powered Cubs ever built. I sold this one.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
