Default 1811 home stretch
Shot the side covers, hood, and grill a while back on the 1811 (now an 1812).

A little work on the fenders today. Had an extra fender that was pretty solid and better than whats on it. But a couple issues. First are some holes the PO drilled in it. And the corners are cracked - I assume they had a cab on it and its vibration causing it to crack.

Welded it up a bit, ground it back down. Think its ready to strip, fill, prime and paint.

I am by no means an expert mig welder, with all my past experience being Tig. But I managed to gobber it up enough.

I have been using the MS Crossfire Urethane with hardener. It is what I can get my hands on so I dont have anything to compare it to.

Ran the 1811 with the old rusty set of tins all winter. But... that just wont pass for my daughters to drive the parade this week. So finished off the fenders and put it back together with shiney parts.

Did get a wrinkle in one of the decals along the side.

Still some odds and ends to finish off, but These two are basically done and my plan from here is to just run em.

Youngest has already started hanging decorations for the parade.

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.
