1811
I picked up this 1811 Cadet a few months ago and started to restore it, but then the weather put a hold on the project, It needed quit a bit of work but is starting to look like it should. New Paint, Decals, overhaul Snowblower gear box, add weights and chains, Tune up all new filters and fluids, brake adjustment.
I have had all international cub cadets for the last 40 years and this is taking a while to get use to, controls on the opposite side is a real challange. But the Snow blower and starter systems are much better. I still have my 169 but wanted to try a newer one so I got this 1811. I have attached a few pics of the project. Jim

Jim,
Thats a very clean 1811 you have looking like a new one! I bet you have quite a few hours into it now. Just curious how do you attach the rear weight at the bottom? I have an 1811 which i removed the 3PTH due to the hitch being attached to the AL tranny always causing leaks, and replaced with the CC rear hitch plate attached to the frame for towing. Now no more tranny/hitch induced leaks.

Nice looking 1811! I have a 1812. I have 80 pounds on the rear and plows like a dozer!

rear weight
I have a 8" x 8" steel plate bolted to the tow hitch and the concrete weight sets on top, I put an eyebolt into the concrete when I poured it and connected it to the rear sheetmetal with a 5" turnbuckle to adjust it,
It sounds more difficult than it was, I have done this for my last 3 tractors, it really does help a lot. The internationals with the snow throwers are lighter than the 1811 with the blower, but either one works fine. I also have wheel weights of a Bolens that are about 80# ea, maybe a little overkill but it works.

You may want to add some more support for that concrete block. There is a tongue weight limit on the aluminum rears that is not very high. I'm sure you've greatly exceeded it with that thing. That should be braced to something structural like the frame.

Jim,
Thanks for the reply on your mounting and I agree with Matt on the support of the block - it should be on the frame. I learned the hard way towing a trac vac with AL axle rear plate pulled the bolts from the tranny and was a devil to keep tight and leak free so I got the rear hitch plate PN 703-1943A - RF Houtz has one for $47 cheap insurance and will protect your transaxle as it connects to the frame. I also had 3PTH that was no longer needed so I removed that and installed the hitch plate - no more issues with the tranny.

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.
