1810 resurrection

[inspectorudy]

I have an 1811 which is a hydro and I agree that for mowing the manual adjustment is better. With the hydro you are never sure if you are back at the original height or not. That little index is not very accurate or at least it is hard to read accurately while on the go. Also, something else I did on my JD was set up a small hydraulic system to raise and lower the non discharge side of the deck so that I could trim along the sidewalk and other places that I wanted to be cut lower than the general area. I am trying to figure out how to rig it up on my ccc. It would be nice if someone would offer a system with a joystick and back to neutral indicator.

Isn't that what the lift stop and adjustment knob is for? If used correctly the lift stop and knob will work flawlessly.

Switch with a light connected to it set to light up when you get to your desired height. That way you wouldn't be total in the DARK as far as getting it back to your desired height. Just a simple thought on fixing your problem.

Can you use the blade deck lifting lever to raise plow also?

UPDATE on the resurrection!!!!
My 4 year and I rewired the burnt wires on the tractor (keeping the same color codes to be able to use the factory wiring diagram in the futre if need be), cleaned out the carb but, it still has an issue it will run fine if you keep the choke pulled other wise it will start sputtering and hunting then cut off, put a new deck drive pull for the mule drive, adjusted the anti scalping wheels and actual mowed probally a 1/4 to 1/2 acre of grass with it til the 100 year old deck belt had enough and broke.

Great news now all you have to do is rebuild the carb and you'll be set.

yeap yeap, then i can make it pretty again. I'm thinking about painting it red instead of yellow and white.

My new dash tower and grille shell came in the first of this week. Got the sanded and primed Tuesday. Thursday was my 4 now 5 year olds birthday and we wet sanded and painted the primed parts. They looked really good for coming out of a rattle can. Will try to get them put on this weekend. Now just need the upper and lower grille insert and the grille parts will be complete. Duke I still want those parts we talked about

[elbertjolley]

Well, let's see I now have a hood and one motor cover (one of the ones that came on the tractor, I found it in the edge of the woods behind my house) and now just need the other side cover, some hinges for my hood and the grille insert. Once I round up the last of the parts, I will get them fitted, gaps as close as possible and then complete tear down and prime plus repaint. Oh yeah i got my carb rebuilt, set out to mow which take two tanks of fuel to mow all my grass and no problems since I put another filter between the fuel pump and carb.

I forgot that I replaced the bearing in my PTO also, sitting like that destoryed the seal and the damp air got to the bearing insides oh well it's fixed now!!
