Well the shop needs a good cleaning, but what fun is that?
So I decided it was time to pull the 1811 in the shop. To recap, I bought this thing in January to use this summer (guess that idea didn't work as planned). Anyway, the rear end is full of water and you guys helped me figure out a plugged hydro filter is why it wouldn't drive very far. I put on an old filter, hydro worked great, just never had time to pull the rear to clean it out. So over the last 10 months I've picked up axle seals, tube, plate, and pump gaskets, and springs for the trunion. Oh yeah, some Deere Hy-Gard for the rear---No I haven't been to an IH dealership in a very long time. Called dad when I got off work and told him to be ready to take it to the shop this afternoon. We dove right in and pulled the fenders and side shields so we could wash it off. I am quite surprised to see what appears to be new rag joints and what looks to be a recently replaced Trunion---NO WEAR!!! I hosed it all down and brought it back inside. Maybe tomorrow I can pull the rear end.Anybody know what the cut wire in the photo was for? Did the harness have wires in it for rear PTO (even if the machine didn't have it)

Looks to be in good shape!
Rear PTO was not available on an 1811. Looks like the wire got the end cut off. Likely ran a new one. I'd guess that one is dead. Check it to be sure. Probably a bad wire or the end went bad. Who knows.... |

I'll have to look again, but I believe that wire is coming straight out of the harness? I haven't looked behind the dash very close but did notice the back up switch was disconnected. I also think the PTO switch was acting funny. Hopefully I won't be getting into a bunch of PO hacking and splicing. The rear lights were hooked up, the seat safety switch was not. I'll tackle the rear end first, then check electrical as we go back together with it.
By the way, this things seems to steer easier than other Cadets we have. It takes 3 revolutions to cover the range of motion. Is the steering box geared differently than older machines for easier steering?

1811 has a "3 turn" steering box. The older machines used a "2 turn" box. So.... yeah. It's geared different.

Don't know how odd the steering will seem when mowing but its great just driving it around. Given dad's age and troubles with his back I think he's really going to like it!

The three turn box definitely makes steering easier, I have tri ribs on my 1211 and it's just as easy as power steering.

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.
