I bought this 1211 from Lew several years ago and its been a good tractor so far. Early on i had coverted it to dual hydrualics as seen in this link https://www.onlycubcadets.net/forum/...highlight=1211 . I've been mowing with a 782 that i put a brand new briggs 23hp in from small engine warehouse but i no longer need it to mow so i decided to drop the 23hp into the 1211 frame. i brought both tractors to the shop and in the process of cleaning them up to swap engines, i discovered the 1211 is starting to peel paint and since i already had a gallon of yellow and a gallon of white i decided to do a quick paint job. I got all the yellow sprayed last night and will hopefully get all the white sprayed this evening. i have a decal kit on the way and i'm hoping a local shop can reproduce the hood decals to have the 2312 model number to reflect that its 23hp with dual hyrualics.
if i can get them to post i will add some pics of the yellow, i will have to apoligize for the poor pic quality as my phones camera is all messed up. This tractor also has a power angle plow which is also blasted and ready to paint and i have a custom wheel weight setup i will also be posting as i have time to work on it.

Thanks, Lew. This tractor had pretty decent paint when I got it from you but it was starting to peel especially around the decals. This was setup as my plow tractor but it has sat for about 6yrs since we really haven't got any snow until this past winter so I decided nows the time to get it ready.

I got the white painted this evening. Here's another poor quality photo from when I was done.

Nice job Tim! There are a lot of new members on here since you have stepped away for a short time. If any members have questions on painting, Tim is the guy to ask.
What paint & primer did you spray? As always, keep feeding us pics.

The primer is keystone dtm. I used ppg versolan epoxy as a sealer and two coats of irongard paint with one coat of dupont clear. I've used this combo dozens of times with no issues from incompatibility. I have paint jobs that are 15yrs old that I used this combo and they still look as good as when I sprayed them. I will try to get some better pics soon. My phone camera is all messed up and I've been to lazy to go get a new one.

The time has come to start switch the engine out of the 782 into the 1211.

I made some progress the last two nights. The engine is bolted in, wired up and the choke/throttle cables attached. I ran into an issue because when i originally converted to dual hydraulics I used hard line and the new engine wouldn't fit with the lines but a quick trip to the hydraulic hose shop solved that issue. I have a few small thing to button up tomorrow and I will be ready to fire it.

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.
