Put The Tiller On The 1450
 

Hydro Update!
Got the 1450 operating reasonably well I finally mounted the tiller on yesterday,must be one of those special edition tillers in harvest gold, sort of like the JD Patio tractors.

Great pic jcrews! Please get some action pics. :ThumbsUp:

I'm new to Cub Cadets, I did have a IH Cub tractor with the 4 cylinder cultivating tractor before, I had horrid carb trouble with that tractor, it may have needed the gas tank cleaned, it was a vapor locking B**** for sure. I replaced the gas line, it had a fuel bowl, I added a paper type filter with the then glass canister rebuilt the carb I don't know how many times, and also cleaned it in a big ultrasonic cleaner for a couple hours... It was not something I needed to be working on all the time, I was growing roast-n-ears to sell, so I needed it to cultivate. A good note on things I have learned, they sell a ultrasonic cleaner on ebay for around $40, if anyone is interested I will get a name/link to manufacture, but they are one of the most handy things to have around, I use mine all the time, and you just think you have a carb clean until you use a ultrasonic cleaner.

Anyway to my question, how does the 1450 handle the tiller ( I don't have one of those ***yet***) however I have a small bottom plow (moldboard?) that was made by sears, it's made for a 3 point hitch type deal, I also have a cultivator that will work with a sleeve hitch, which I have neither... but I gotta get my cub like I want it before going any further. I may be using my cub even though it has a great deck mostly for garden work, I also have a Craftsman DYT 4000 48" cut 24 HP B&S Intek.. not sure how the cub would compare to the craftsman in cutting grass. I really like a floating deck for grass cutting, if I only had my Ford YT 16 back....

Nice setup jcrews :ThumbsUp:

Do you think that is factory paint or did someone just paint it that color? I havnt seen one that color befor either. :bigthink:

That tiller is a cub cadet tiller 1a, I haven't run it yet but have a pto belt on the way. My brother uses the same type tiller on his 106 and it works really well.I have a 154 with a tiller and it is great, I had a carburetor on an off topic mower and I cleaned it several times and it woul do ok and I finally took it to the local cub cadet dealer where the again vatted it and cleaned it with an acid wash and it was like having a brand new carburetor.

You just descibed my 154 creeper drive mid & rear hydraulics, dual brakes. 4 foot tiller and I'm pleased as could be to have it. I bought for my dad to use the last year he was able to plant a garden, I paid $1200 for it also has a 60 inch deck and a dirt/snow blade. It was worth the 1200 so he could have one last garden.

The 1450 is my mini version of my 154 with tiller
