Default The BRS Replacement

Brought home the replacement today. My daughter and I made a trip up to Hamilton, OH and picked up this nice 1711. It's not perfect, but I am going to do like Lew does and clean it up and use it like it is. The motor 'is' a series II. The hydro is tight and responsive and smooth, no creeping. The brake actually holds nice and tight. I'll get some more pics once I get the tins cleaned and waxed. The hub caps are rusty. The fronts are the worst, the rears mostly some surface rust. I'll have to find out how to clean these up. I'll be going to NAPA tomorrow to get plugs, filters, oil, etc. and do some maintenance on it before mowing in a few days. The deck is a very nice solid 44C, the baffles are complete, the blades need some work and sharpening. I'll probably pull the fender pan and tins and degrease and clean, and check out the trunion, and the fabric discs on the drive shaft and bushings.

A pic while unloading:

Nice looking 1711. Just some steel wool and chrome polish is what I use. Your auto store might have something better. Are the 1711s pretty rare? Don't see too many.

Yes it does. Now I have to get a rear lift for it.

I'll give some #0000 steel wool and polish a try. I am not sure if they are too rare or not. They are the CCC yellow/white version of the red 782.

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.
