Well I have had a 1811 cub for about 25 years. Started having trouble getting it started so I started looking for info on John Deer but too many people were having trouble with the transaxel. So went back to Cub. heard what everyone said about buying from a dealer so I found one about 20 miles away. They made me a good deal and are trying to sale my 1811 for me. I wanted a 46" but they did not have one with electric pto so they gave me same off on a 50" LXT. I have used it once so far and the steering does take some getting used to. I had to cut a new door in my shed to get it in but it will be worth the work. What do you think of the deck wash?
