Welcome to OCC!  The 1450 is a wide frame quiet line cub cadet the Quiet lines have their own unique problems. The ISO rubber motor mounts can wear out so check those when you go and look, those are cheap and easy to replace. And the rag joints on the engine and the hydro too. The 1450 is a great workhorse and the hydraulic lift makes work a whole lot easier. In my opinion they are just as good if not better than any other older Cub. Most people like to stay away from quiet lines because of the wear points, but they are nice tractors if you keep them well maintained. I love my 1450 and 1250, they are powerful tractors.
