Well good news, got half an hour in the garage between things today. Put a good set of tires on and borrowed a battery from another tractor. Turned the key and fired right up. I got the multimeter out to check charging and nothing. Hmm. Then I noticed when I bumped the dash, the ampmeter went to charging. So, I've got a lose wire under the dash somewhere. Rechecked and boom, 14.6v. So all in all I'm happy. If you guys are interested, I'll keep updating the thread as I make progress on the 1811.

Congrats on the second 18'! Yeah, that's a BIG seat and rear tires!! WOW!

Check your key switch for the loose connection. Very common problem. I have trouble there from time to time on mine. Wiggle it a little and back in business. If its really bad, new switch and new terminals in the plug will fix it.

Did a "little" work on it tonight. I'll post pics and details tomorrow but I pulled the engine to do some cleanup and found the problem to be with the fuse holder, lose wire best I could tell. I didn't fix it yet, ran short on time, but at least I know what the problem is. And the other thing I learned tonight is I now have my first Wolbro carb. Once I got things back together, I started it up and let it warm up, then went through the throttle range. I noticed at full throttle it seems to surge. I haven't tinkered with it yet, but I'm thinking someone messed with the governor spring like on my other 1811. Anything else I should check?

Let's just say he's a forum member here, probably won't be a surprise to anyone but I'll let him spill it when the time comes

Is it an adjustable one?

You know the drill. Clean the carb and tank, tune up. This ain't your first rodeo!

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.
