My new 1864
Well, after quite a bit of going back and forth, finagling the details, and settling a few odds and ends, the deal was done. My 1811 found a new home, and I received an 1864 to replace it. I've been trying to get my hands on one since I got my 1863 (I wanted the Sunstrand and Power Steering). A buddy of mine got one, and the bugging began
 Long story short, we were able to work out a deal that made both of us happy. So today, I loaded up, and hit the road. This is a continuation of this thread, this post specifically (a few more pics of the transaction): http://www.onlycubcadets.net/forum/s...7&postcount=32 Anywho, I got the tractor with a few issues. The list is pretty short, but there are things to work on. After running for about 20-30 minutes, the tractor starts to cut out. You can pull spark plugs one at a time and it will continue running (so I'm told), so I'm thinking it's fuel related, but I'm not 100% sure yet. The other issue is the rear (PTO side) crank seal leaks. The tractor has about 1500 hours on it, but they are well maintained hours. The tractor came from the city of Knoxville in Illinois so regular maintenance has been done through the life of the machine by the city. My plans for this machine are simple; I want to take my 1863 and the 1864 and make the best machine I can out of the two. I want to use the engine and drive shaft from the 1863 since it has around 1100 less hours. I want to get the best plastic from the two, best fenders, etc. Then, I tentatively plan on selling the machine that is left to fund a blade and/or 2 stage blower. There is no huge hurry with this project as there is nothing wrong with the 1863. As for the 1864 right now, I got it off the trailer and promptly found that the steering was horribly off. After a bit of tinkering (adjusted steering and changed the oil), it's good to go. I have to say, power steering is the CATS MEOW!! I didn't want to get back on the 1863 after putzing around on the 1864 for a while So, there's the status of the 1864 and the plans for it in a nutshell. I have a new crank seal ordered and will be replacing the fuel line and filter in the near future. But that leaves me ask; does anyone have any suggestions or ideas as to what could be causing the machine to cut out? I'm hoping it's simple... Thanks for looking guys, I'll be sure to keep y'all posted!

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.
