Took the biggest loader we had, stood it up, and there it is. I never thought, we should have ran it over the scale to see what it actually weighs, to late now

Got ambitious to add to my exhaust for the #1250. A 90deg. under sink tube would NOT work, so I purchased 1 1/4- thin wall electrical ($5.96) pipe, tack welded to the stub that came off my muffler.

Nik,


It will do. The thin-wall is twice the thickness of original exhaust & will last a LONG, LONG, time.

Default Engine swap

I pulled off my first Cubby engine swap this week! Long story on the M18 in my 1812 that's going to take some time to sort out so with grass season upon us decided to pick up a rough and tumble 1811 with a good running engine. Pulled my engine Monday night, Tuesday night yanked the engine from the junker and popped it into mine and had it back together and ready to mow that night. Have to say I appreciate the time members spend detailing their projects and answering questions, the forum is a great resource. Special thanks to J-Mech for answering some of my questions and giving me guidance. Couple of pics from Tuesday night, the 1811 donor, mine ready to receive the transplant, all finished up later that night ready to mow. Excuse the messy surroundings.

Awesome job, love the 181x Cubs!

So what do you have planned for the 1811 donor now?

I'm not sure about the 1811, originally was going to fix it up but I already have too many projects so thinking may just part it out. I definitely plan to keep a spare engine ready to drop in, some see it as overkill but I see it as extending the life of my 1812 with all my attachments practically forever. Probably hang onto the deck as my primary has some rust, keep the hydraulic pump just in case but everything else is probably for sale.

Nice job Boatman! Your 1812 is sweet and the 1811 doesn't look to bad either.

Mike, does the drone do Delaware? Or is it too close to Jersey?

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.
