1810 Advice ASAP!!!!
I went and looked at an 1810 today and Im pretty sure that Im going to purchase it to use around some land I purchased. Im supposed to go back friday and purchase it if everything checks out ok. (the people were going to replace the choke cable and a spindle on the deck before selling it). The mower runs and sounds good and doesnt really appear to be really beat up.
It has a 50in deck that seems pretty solid as well. The asking price is $500. Like I mentioned above, Im pretty well sold on purchasing it regardless but I would appreciate some advice on what things or potential problem spots I should take a look at before handing over the money and loading it up. Any advice is greatly appreciated!! Thanks again guys..OCC rocks!

one thing to keep in mind is the rear end mounting bolts, if they have been run loose they could be stripped out. Take a 9/16 wrech and check the four bolts in the back on the sides.
 I just got a 1811 and its a BEAST!

I sure do appreciate the advice! I will probably post pics on here before I even use it! I will be sure and check out the bolts 1st thing, I will probably give it a real good once over before I put it to work.
The only reason why Im waiting until friday is because they have already ordered the parts and want to make sure its in good working order before they turn it loose. Looked like the knob on the choke cable was missing and the cable itself may not have been bad..they had a pair of vice grips that they were using to operate the choke cable. The deck was off of it, so I was able to flip it around and check out both sides, it seemed real solid. I do know that one of the wheel mounting brackets had broken off at one time and had been re-welded..but I didnt really think that was a big deal. What about the Hydro set up? Anything in particular to look for on it..other than just making sure it works?

I bought an 1811 last year non running with no hood, grille or side panels for $350. I considered it a steal when I got it home and added gas and a good battery and was mowing the yard.
$500 sounds very good, and you can stand to look at yours.

Grab it up for that price. The Kohler Mag 18's go for about that price if they run well. How many hours are on the meter? I love my 1811. As Ben said, check the 6 bolts on the rear of any Cub tractor with an aluminum rear.

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.
