The dual stick 1450 I bought locally for $300. I was surprised when the fellow I bought it from brought it to my home because a nice power angle blade came with it. I took about 3 months taking it apart and repairing it. The hydro valves were stuck. The trunnion needed repairing as did the wiring. Pics are the before and after.

That's a really nice restore!!! Congrats on POTW!!!! :beerchug:

That looks great John. Congrats on potw!:beer2:

Thanks. I am really humble considering all the other incredible Cubs done by many here. I am almost done with my winter project "O" and decided what will be my next project, a 124 that will have creeper, hydro lift, 3 point lift and lights. I get so much inspiration (and in most cases awe) at what people here do with their Cubs. Thanks again.

John

congrats on POTW

John great job on the dual stick 1450. :beerchug:

Nice job on the 1450 John and Congrats on POTW!

You did an outstanding job. Congratulations on POTW. If you lived down here by me at that price you got the tractor free and saved 200 on the blade. That is awesome...

That is one nice looking tractor. I'm going to look at this when I need motivation to work on my 1450. It looks like its brand new.

Congrats on POTW. Great job on the restoration.
