1450 First Day back to work
 

Well after finishing the make over of my 1450, my wife told me I should clean up the 44A deck before hooking that up to the tractor. So I tore that apart over the last 2 weeks. Sanded painted and replaced a few worn parts.

This morning I got the last few parts. Installed them and hooked up the deck to the tractor.

I am proud to report that she cut her first 2 acres of grass with out any issues. Ran real smooth never dropping below 3540 rpms even on small hills. No loss of oil, trans fluid etc.. Just a great ride!!!

You just can't beat a old cub cadet:beerchug:

Attached is a picture of her after cutting the grass.

That is one fine lookin' Cub !! Great job!!

That's an awesome 1450 and deck, Mike! Great job! :beerchug:

If so, where do you get them?

Good looking 1450 Mike1450

Simply amazing. I hope that one day my 1450 looks half as good as that one. you should get another 40 plus years out of that piece of work:beer2:

Great job! If my 1650 ends up looking half as good as your 1450 I will be very happy.

Thanks for the Kudo's everyone!

It sure is a good feeling getting to see the results after many hours of work on her. Even better is putting her back to work at what she was made to do at peak performance.

The decals on the tractor are all original most were in good shape. The small IH on the back was removed and some black decal by the side panel thumb screws and black strip on the front were in bad shape and removed.

New decals order for the tractor off of ebay.

Mowing Deck decals all new from local dealer, he had a box of misc decals. Got all of them for $1 (of coarse I spent a lot of time there over the last few weeks)
