Man, I wished you lived here in the South! I sold a push blade for $150 and a n 1863 with a broken front axle is $350 on CL and it hasn't run in a year along with a lot of rust. I believe that location is the deciding factor in most Cub sales but engine condition is next. The thing about the 1811 is that it has everything that the GT has but cost a lot less. If you want the four way aux hydraulics then go with a JD 318 and then you have PS, aux hyd, three point hitch available cheap and power lift deck. The down side to them is the Onan smoker motor. The ideal tractor for me would be a nice JD 318 with a bad motor for about $300. Then I would buy the B&S Vanguard conversion kit for $1200 and have a killer tractor that can add all kinds of accessories.
