Remember the dual hydro levers 1450, one of my first QL?

The one I have been working on for a couple months.:

I still have to make up a control stick for the dual setup but I have something for the time being.

It's nowhere close as good as some here do to their babies but it's start for a backyard grease monkey.

I am most pleased with one problem and turnout. The battery must have frozen and broke because all the tinware around it was gone or on its way. I am really pleased with my making new metal and replacing it. You cannot tell now that there was any damage..

Your 1450 turned out nice, John!

Man that loooks great ! i have the same tractor also with 2 sticks and it has bin apart for about 2 years now. I guess im more into supers now. Great job. Dave

Thanks!

Doing this one gives me an idea what I'm looking at with my next QL. But I have my Original and a couple of NFs that I think I will do next.

Wow! Does that 1450 look great, and to he1* with John Deere,.. I don't care what anybody says, the Quiet Line Series are the best looking, best in styling, just a sharp all round tractor!
