    1711 carburetor

    I'm not sure whether I have a Kohler or Walbro carb on my 1711. Anyone???

    1711 won't start

    I fired up the 1711 for the first time since last Fall. It smoked a little, as usual. This time the smoke didn't clear. It eventually died. I couldn't get it to start again. Coil is providing plenty of fire. I noticed the oil level rose and smells like gas. Gas seems to be leaking out of the...

    System discharging

    Hi all. Been a while since I've been on. I have a 1711 that the ammeter is showing it is discharging while the tractor is running. I'm not very good with electrical systems, so I sure could use some help. The battery is brand new.

    Oil seal replacement

    Anyone had any experience in replacing the rear main oil seal on a KT17 Series II engine? It seems the seal is an internal one, but I could be wrong. Any input would be appreciated.

    Serious oil leak

    Well, I finished mowing the lawn this evening, pulled the 1711 up to the garage to blow off the grass and found oil dripping onto the front of the deck. Checked the oil level and found only a drip on bottom of dipstick. Pulled the hood and saw some oil on back portion of the left head. I'm...

    Finally did the Supersteer upgrade

    Well, I finally did the Supersteer upgrade on my 1711. I used the front axle and components from an 1863. I did have to make a few minor modifications, but it worked out great. You can see the increase in the front axle width in the first photo. This axle raised the front end of my tractor by...

    Supersteer upgrade

    I'm just about ready to do the supersteer upgrade on my 1711. I have a front axle and all the connections necessary from an 1863 that I am using for this upgrade. The spindles are a little loose in the front axle. When I look at SUPERSTEER in Charlie's FAQs, it talks about replaceable bushings...

    3 turn steering column

    Can any of you tell me which models had the 3 turn-to-lock steering column? I currently have a 2 turn on my 1711, but am considering converting it over if I can find a 3 turn. Thanks again for all the help you guys have provided in the past.

    Lower turning radius

    I have been contemplating modifying, if feasible, my 1711's turning radius. I'm assuming this will be a big undertaking no matter how I go about it. My steering wheel makes 2 complete revolutions. I understand there are some that make 3. I will need to change out my steering column anyway before...

    1711 Front Axle

    Since I bought my 1711 almost 2 years ago, I noticed that there was some play in the steering. I realize that I need to either rebuild or buy a rebuilt steering assembly, but I noticed something else. When I turn the steering wheel, the front axle moves back and forth somewhat. Does anyone...

    HyTran leak

    I have a 1711 Hydro. I recently replaced the rear cover gasket because I thought it was leaking. The leak is coming from further under the tractor. Any ideas come to mind from any of you where this fluid may be coming from? Any help is appreciated.

    Changing Hy-Tran fluid

    Well, I just changed the fluid in my 1711 Hydro due to a leaking gasket on the rear end. I didn't realize changing the filter would be such an ordeal. The mule drive assembly is in the way of getting the filter in position easily. Anyway, what I'm wondering about is if there is another way of...

    1711 Hydro problem

    OK guys. I was just mowing the lawn and backing up to mow the next row. I pushed the lever forward and the tractor would not move forward or backward. My deck is stuck in the "down" position. It will not lift. Any ideas? I appreciate the help.

    1711 steering play

    Hi all. I just became the proud owner of a 1711 Hydro late last summer, so I'm still in the process of becoming familiar with the way everything works on this fine piece of equipment. This tractor is in wonderful condition for being 22 years old. I have added Gator blades to my 44" deck and made...

    1711 with new Gator blades on 44" deck

    Just installed new Gator blades on my 44C deck. The clippings were smaller, but had just as much grass discharge as before, just as "Mr Plow" told me. Is there anything that is available or can be installed to turn this deck into a mulcher? I'm looking for any ideas.

    1711 PTO problems

    I'm new to this forum and also new to owning a Cub Cadet. I just bought a 1711 Hydro used with 845 hours. The problem is that after approx. 15-20 mins of mowing, when I disengage the PTO and then try to re-engage, it doesn't work. The mower has to sit for about 1 hour before I can re-engage...
