I was looking for a tractor for my son that would be compatible with the implements I have for my 782. Found this 1811 that ran decent and brought it home. Previous owner had some real sketchy repairs. Not a single cotter pin or hairpin clip on the mower deck and mule drive. All bailing wire or nails! Biggest discovery was one correct taper seat spark plug and one compression washer plug on the other cylinder! Rebuilt the carburetor and lots of pressure washing and a little buffing and it's a worker again and runs great. I have side tins to install at some point.Some before and after pictures.

Make sure to get a replacement LH head cover if it didn't come with one. The engine will not cool properly without it.
I have one. The bolts are broken off in the head. I will drill and use ez-out. I hope it works...
John,congrats on getting that far..another lesson in why maybe tools need to be licensed..reminds me recently a guy explained to me how he got a pin back in.I asked if he put a cotter key in it and he said he didn't have one so he used a safety pin.I just sucked wind and said good luck...
