Looks great. The 50” deck is my second favorite. The 54” is my favorite.

Finished refurb for now - adjusted front end play - was 1/4" back and forth, greased everything driveline, axles, checked rear bolts, did hydro adjust etc. Gotta disable the reverse PTO cutout but that's a minor thing as this isn't my main mower, but it cuts great, and has more deck speed than my 1811. Seems to run hotter and not move as much air out the front vs. the 1811.
Next project is a rear cargo carrier for the 1864 to carry my Stihl spray rig and wood etc. Bought a 2" receiver hitch plate to mount to the rear plate and looking at the Harbor Freight unit https://www.harborfreight.com/automo...-69858.htmlbut may require some mods to work. Anyone else done a similar carrier they can share pics? Here are some pics of the 1864 today. Thanks for all your feedback! |

Deck de-rust
I am currently working to rebuild a 54" deck. The rust is there of course, and solid on the underside. I had a product made by Dominion that says it will stop rust and leave a hard clear coating. I tried it out on the underside of this deck and I am very pleased with the result. I knocked all the scale for it with a wire brush in the angle grinder, then just brushed this stuff on.
It dried overnight to a very hard finish - harder than paint. http://dadscustoms.com/dominion_sure..._-black-_.html Kinda pricey, but it goes a long way. Comes in clear, gray or black. I used clear. |

Be sure to post a follow up on the coating performance after experience mowing. Tractor and deck looks fantastic.

Cleaning and Valve Covers
Been doing some more minor things - pulled valve covers, - old style flat gaskets were leaking causing buildup the head fins, so have two new covers with o-ring seals on order now.
Pulled side covers off, and air cleaner - no debris in fan area, but under the side covers with leaking valve covers the head fins were blocked up - cleaned about 4 + cups of oil coated debris from back and sides - about 60% blocked. Pushes a lot more air now. Starting issues - click click then would start - so removed starter switch - corrosion between pins and in plug - cleaned and lubed - no more issues. After the valve covers its into the rear end and maybe some xTreme braces for the rear axle - but this is just a hauling wood tractor, not working it hard.. So putting $120 more into it is what I am debating now. Last is the rear 2" receiver hitch and cargo carrier from Harbor Freight - its been out of stock so haven't gotten to that yet. |

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.
