1450 and attachments

Think I will take a look at this one on weekend. Looks like it's been "riddin hard and put away wet", but worth a look see. No response to e-mail, will try calling tonight. Don't know as I'll pay $700.00 for it. Mind you maybe I can peddle the tiller as I have no need for it.

looks a little black up front. better check and see if any oil is left in the engine.

looks like theres 400 in attachments so the price isnt to bad.

rmunro 01-17-2013 12:37 PM

I saw that black. Will definitely have a look at the oil level. Not sure is the front has taken a hit or not.

Roger, My 1450 looked almost that bad when I got it too. It came with a mower deck, 42" blade and tire chains. The price was "JUST GET IT OUT OF MY YARD"!!

macman81 01-17-2013 11:51 PM

around me i could clean that up and split it up and get 1000 easy for it. and not even feel like i ripped anyone off.

rmunro 01-18-2013 08:20 AM

Up here in Canuckland Cubs aren't so easy to find, and bring more $$ than in the US. I'm looking at this one tomorrow if all goes well. Plus a 1210. Good chance I'll bring both home.

The owner of the 1450 says it looks a lot better than the pic shows. He's to send me more pics today.


And like most of the rest of you fellows---Wifey thinks I've lost my marbles.

rmunro 01-18-2013 08:22 AM

If I buy it, and likely will, the 1450 will be kept. And probably peddle the tiller. I have no need/use for it.

rmunro 01-18-2013 11:01 AM

Some additional pics.

When it comes to cubs......... Never listen to your wife!!!

rmunro 01-18-2013 11:17 AM

And I'll never put power steering on one. Cuz then she'd want one too!!!!

CubNub 01-18-2013 05:43 PM

If I wasn't so far from Canada I'd gladly take the tiller off your hands. I'm searching my area for one now before spring hits.

rmunro 01-19-2013 07:30 AM

What kind of $$ should the tiller fetch??

Looks like it's a #2 tiller with gear box $350 is a fair price in my neck of the woods. Spring time the price will be higher due to the demand of buyers trying to locate one. BTDT Looks like you've got a lot of life in those tines still and you still have factory paint under the tins. all that works in your favor.:beer2:

rmunro 01-19-2013 04:18 PM

The gear box is the right angle drive attached to the rear diff??

And yes it is a #2 tiller.

Thank you, and yes I did buy the 1450. have lots to do to it, I'll be looking for info no doubt.


AND, cheers to you.

Cubcrazy 01-19-2013 06:14 PM

Congrats on getting the 1450!:beerchug:

BIGMOZEKE 01-19-2013 06:32 PM

Congats on the 1450 that was a heck of a deal even if you didn't get them to come down.

ACecil 01-19-2013 10:40 PM

Nice find on your 1450!

Camper-1 01-19-2013 10:58 PM

Good find. I paid 700.00 for the same setup last summer, but mine was far from running. I learned not to set a deadline but just keep at it till its right.
Good Luck :beerchug:

By the way, along with the tractor, blower, and tiller, I also got IHC cadet wheels weights, extra set of rear and front tires(think the original---looks like a snowtire pattern) and rims.

rmunro 01-20-2013 07:34 AM

The engine oil dipstick tube is loose. I tried to check the oil, and the whole thing came up. Is that just a press fit?? Oil pours out now when running.

steve59 01-20-2013 07:52 AM

Yes.....It's a pressed fit. Take it out and clean the area that presses into the block and put some Permatex Form-A-Gasket No. 2 Sealant on it.

rmunro 01-20-2013 08:18 AM

Thanks Steve. Will try and get at that tomorrow.

Well, only had time for a quick look at the 1450 the other day. Maybe it's supposed to be a press fit, but this one literally will just drop onto the hole. Somebody has bucksheed a bracket that is useless, so this looks to be an old problem. I don't know if it's the wrong tube, or something is missing. Probably won't get back to it for couple weeks.

rmunro 02-01-2013 02:59 PM

Well, got the oil dipstick tube anchored and sealed.

Still have major leak apparently from other side of engine. Hope to get at that this weekend.


Then tackle the hard start issue. Set timing, carb, new fuel filter may be all it takes.


The engine is loose and can be moved around. I think they have bolted cradle solid to frame, at least no sign of ISO mounts.


Bouncing back and forth between it and 1210 I bought same day.
