The 1811 project
I finally had time with the threats from my son to start working on his 1811. Here are a few pics of the work we got done the past two weekends.
Front tin removed and engine removal  Look at the foam the PO sealed the engine tin to the fire wall with  My son pressure washing the frame and now wanting me to sand blast and paint it.  The engine is on the bench waiting for teardown. Looks like the deck is going to need a complete overhaul,more on that later.

Looks good! The 1811 is I think my favorite worker Cub so far out of the dozen or so I've had. Great machine.
That foam is supposed to be there too, btw

I have an 1811 and I can tell you that adding PS will be the best thing that you can do to the old girl! It made mine into a tractor that I love to drive from a utility vehicle that I had to use. It is much easier to do it while everything is apart than to do it later.

And there is supposed to be a piece of foam between the engine and the motor mount plate. They are there to help blow cool air thru the engine and out the front.

Nice father/son project. The paint doesn't look too bad from here. Of course it could be the wetness of the water.........

The 1811 is still my favorite tractor. I have restored about ten JD's and many different models but there is something about the 1811 that makes it my favorite to use. I think it might be the position of the seat and the drivability of it. Of course the PS helps a lot too. You will enjoy it and be proud of your work when you finish.

Thanks for the replies! I would love to add power steering and dual hydraulics but the money is not in the budget until my wife finishes school next year
 The foam looks like it had been cut out of a block instead of a factory piece but I wondered if they came with the foam.Here are a couple of pics of the deck. It is solid but I need to weld up some cracks around the rear deck hangers and smooth an old weld made by the PO. All three spindles are frozen and the blades are shot.  Here is the bottom. I do not know if you can see but half the baffles are ripped out. Hopefully I can make a new one at work and weld it in.

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.
