Default 1811 project

I scored this today for $200, I bought it from a friend that sells cub parts and has over 100 cubs on his property. He said he's never tried to start it but that he thought the engine was locked up, when I got it home and started to tear into it I found that the reason it seemed locked up was because the the flywheel area was filled with acorns. After removing a huge nest and a ton of acorns it turns over just fine and feels like it has alot of compression, a quick check down the oil fill revealed a fully intact governor. Tomorrow its going to work with me to get pressure washed, I'm going to change the oil and do a compression test and try to start it. Does anybody have the info for pinning the governor? The sign was free .

Here's some pics after I was done tearing into it, the orange liquid came out of the fuel tank. The rearend is incredibly clean and doesn't have any crud on it so I'm hoping it doesn't leak.

It seems to be in overall good shape and unmolested, it even has these stickers on the wheels that I've never seen before.

best part of the deal is the fact that he has about 10 more out there and if anything on this one is bad i can just take the part out and exchange it free of cost. the guy i buy from is cool like that.

Great find! Looks to be in nice original condition. Even still has the pressure decals on the rims. Did the seller have a mower deck that would work with it? How many hours, and does the meter work? You should hear it ticking like a wind-up clock when the key is on. Those Mags are stout when tuned properly. Good luck!

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.
