New to us 1450 w/44A and tiller
 

New member with newly purchased 1450. The deck is a 44A. I haven't found a tag for the tiller so I don't know what model it is. Anyway I better get some pics up before I get banned.

Nice find on the 1450! Congrats.
Looks like a model 2 tiller. I also see the 1450 has the factory armrests. Great find!:beerchug:

I agree with Josh! Sweet setup! Your going to love how the tiller works!

Thanks, red56turbo. I didn't know the armrests were a factory item.

There weren't any belts for the tiller when we picked it up so we need to get new one's. Do you use the same mule drive for both the mower and tiller? It sorta looks like the large pulley on the tiller has been changed. Does it look original to you guy's? What is the diameter of the original?

Some of the things I've found since we picked this up last saturday. The front Iso bolts were put in so they interfered with the drive latch. The rubber tube in the air cleaner was backwards and there wasn't a filter. The hydro fluid level was down about 1.5 qts. The tab on the hydro drive/release lever is broken. And the factory exhaust and shield have been removed.

Congrats on your 1450 and attachments!

You can still get the belts the long belt you need is IH-61959-C1. The 38/42 mule drive will work without mods. If you mod the mule drive for the tiller it will mess up the mule drive for the deck. What size deck do you have? That's a new pulley. It looks to be about the right size. I'll try and measure mine for you.

The deck is a 44A. Here is the tractor tag also.

The armrests are hard to find. I just finally found a set for the first time and threw them on the 982.

The muffler is a common issue for the 1450 as is the muffler box. Looks like someone just saved some money when it all broke. You'd be worth the money buying all the right stuff for it again if you're going to keep it.

The motor mount bolts are just in upside down. I'd swap them quick and be done with it before the mule accidentally falls off and mash a finger good. Also, you're better off just getting a different mule drive with straight pulleys so you never have to adapt anything to switch between the deck and tiller. I sold all of my extra mule drives but someone on here has one I'm sure

The tab for the hydro release also breaks commonly. They can be bought new still. Heck, I might even have one here still. Shoot me an email if you really need one.

I think that covered a lot of it.
