Thought I'd update my intro page with some pictures of my 1450. She's no beauty queen, but I finally got it running today and took a couple pictures:
I bought this tractor through a craigslist add and as they sometimes go, it wasn't quite what the seller described...
I've added a new battery, starter solenoid, plug, points, condensor, air filter, oil change, hydraulic fluid filter, deck belt, drive belt, and working on getting the mower deck operational again. It also included a snow thrower that I've yet to dive into. Seems to be running well now and the trans operated as it should. I hope to use it this summer for mowing the pasture and clearing the drive over the winter. Maybe a restoration next spring.
