Snow!
Drug (I know, 'dragged') this 1811 home earlier this week. It has a two stage blower on it. About 1000 hours. Either a switch or a solenoid (or wire) to get it to start with the ignition but jumping the solenoid starts easily. Was able to get it out this morning in the snow and a couple observations.
Less than an hour run time but the engine is smoothing out already. I think it set most of the year (only used it for snow, and the PO bought a replacement last year). Some fresh gas and running it a bit seems to be helping. Hood and side panels have some surface rust but just barely through the paint and in quite good condition for a refinish. This blower is heavy. 'Too much' for the tractor in some ways. I wish it lifted higher, and when down the front tires wont bite enough to turn it tightly (at least sometimes). Any little bump or incline transition and the tractor struggles to move it. Having said that, for up and down swipes on the drive it blows like crazy. For deeper snow, no comparison to the blade. So even if I sell the tractor, think I will hold onto the blower (assuming it fits the 784 as well). But I need more time with the 784 first to learn more how then engine on it will hold up - seeming to be burning a little oil to me, and oil drips means I need to dig into it a bit and learn more. In the mean time will just clear the drive with this 1811.       And yes these set out overnight because I wanted them near the house for duty first thing this morning. Still snowing so I get another round this evening.

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.
