My Cub Cadet 1811 Hydro

This is my Cub Cadet 1811 Hydro. I love this tractor. I had been wanting one for a long time and a old neighbor was selling one and my parents bought it as a gift for my birthday last year. The body and paint work is a little rough, but she runs like a top. Only major thing I had to do was remove the electric pto clutch as a bearing was bad. As I only use her for pushing snow I have not installed a new PTO Clutch. I put chains on her and the snow blade. Had lots of fun last winter pushing snow in the neighborhood. Look forward to it this year.

Krisb,
I have to agree, I picked up an 1811 with a 46'' deck,snowblower,and a snow/dirt blade that I don't think was ever mounted on the tractor.I got it with the famous blown governor/trashed cam problem.The engine case turned out to be good so I took a chance on a used cam and put it back together .I've been useing it all summer as my main mower and gotta say it's been a great machine and I hope it blows snow as well as it cuts grass. Quick pic of it when it got home and of the cam that came out.

It will blow snow fantastic...this thing does...has the same engine as the 1811, just a different color.

I would love to have the snow blower for this. I have seen a few come up for sale but never when I got money burning a hole in my pocket. I have a extra blade, but its not a trip blade so I would not want to use it for pushing snow unless I had to. My 1811 came with the bagging kit too. I keep thinking about putting a new clutch on so I can use it to bag leaves in the fall, but I dont really want to put more hours on the clock then I have too.

I also would love to park a Cub 782 next to my 1811. Would be cool to own both red and yellow Cubs. Again I see them come and go for sale but never when I got money burning a hole in my pocket.

Krisb that 1811 looks good for original paint. You probably only need to replace the pto bearing, not the whole clutch.

Great Looking CCC! I have a 1211 and absolutely love it. My 50" deck seems to push the 12hp to the limit at times, but she really loves to move the snow!

Nice tractor you have there!

Here are a couple pics of mine..

Hmmmm that a interesting thought. Im not that mechanically proficient so I didnt realize thats a option. I will have to take a look a look at the clutch again. Thanks!

Teet that is a really nice looking 1211. I take it you restored the blade or has it just never been used? It looks awesome.

I saw on another site a guy re-engined his 782 with this engine Its a 24 Horse Honda http://www.smallenginewarehouse.com/...GX670-Cub-1811

Im not sure if it will bolt into your 1211 but thought I might as well show you. Nothing like doubling your horse power

Thanks! Yeah, I repainted the 54" blade, but I assure you it doesn't look that pretty now! She pushed alot of snow last winter.

I had seen that re-power before, as well as one that Jims repair does as well (link below), but man, seems like a huge chunk of change! I could probably pick up super for the price of a repower! Still pretty cool though.

Ive often thought about picking up a small kubota diesel engine to try and stuff in the 1211. I have a 122 roller that I was thinking about throwing a single cylinder diesel in to play with...
