Nice looking 1810
I think you got a great deal on your 1810. I see that big long deck height adjusting lever and it makes me realize that I prefer that to my hydro lift for the deck. I love the other things I can do with my 1811 hydro lift but when mowing it is so much easier to go from one stop to the other and back with certainty of position. With my hydro I have the little numbers on the lift indicator but there can be quite a difference between settings when doing it on the fly. Also the hydro lift seems to be easier to adjust raising the deck than in lowering it. I guess it's just gravity making it go down a little easier than up. Anyway I think you got the best of both worlds and I know you will love it. I am actually looking forward to it snowing here this year 'cause I have my new snow blade to attack it with. I never cease to look for things to add on to or improve my CC 1811. Congrats on a good find.

That is a nice Cub. It gives me the itch to get my running. I have too many projects.

Inspectorrudy, I pay no attention to the numbers on the lift height, that is what the cam is for on the lift stop. I set my deck up with a Cub Cadet height adjuster from side to side, front to back. I raise and lower my deck many times each time I mow and it is always the same height. I just wait for the tractor to surg slightly and know that the ram is at full stroke.
JohnsonJohn, that is a sweet deal you got on that 1810.

Thanks guys! I was really tempted to cut the yard today even though it didnt really need it..lol. I avoided temptation and just rode the kids up and down the street on it a few times. I was suprised at how fast that thing goes for being a riding mower!
I plan on cleaning it up some and reposting some pics. It has some goofy budweiser stickers on it and some mailbox letters that say "cub" on the hood. Gonna take those off and give it a good scrubbing before putting it away for winter. Sure do wish I could find a blade..been seriously kicking around the idea of ordering one from xtrememotorworks. Just gonna have to wait and see. I have a baby due any day now..thats the only thing holding me back!

Mowing height
Oak I know what you are getting at but I have several different levels of grass and different heights that I cut it at. I can set the lowest level with the cam and then cut the higher ones by the little gauge but it is not very precise. I traded a JD in on my 1811 and it had a hydro tranny but a manual deck changer. It had numbers for each notch along with a movable index and was very fast to change levels with no scrutiny required. I love my 1811 but I can see the value in different approaches to the same problem. Can't wait to plow my drive.

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.
