1450 machine code differences
Specific to those with 1450 tractors ..........
I obtained a 1450 QL with an undocumented machine code. When searching for parts, a 2050065 or 2050660 is listed but my 2050066 is not. I'm curious why the different machine codes were used and what initiated the change. If others with 1450 tractors could list their nameplate tag info (complete with serial number), I'd like to see if there is a sequence that would explain the different numbers. There has to be a lot of owners out there that have 1450 tractors but I have not heard of many that have a machine code like mine.
IHCubCadet147, you mentioned you have an 0660 from July 1977. Can you list the actual serial number so, as I accumulate more info, I can place your number in the correct sequence in my database? The changes you mentioned that IHCC made to that model could very well be what explains the different numbers. Does your tractor have 1" axles?, and aluminum front casting?.
MattC, did you get a chance to get your serial number off your tractor?
I'm just trying to see if anything can explain why the changes and if they are in sequence, or more related to options, or just a production run timing issue that they changed the number because they decided on a different format. I refurbished a dependable working machine but those that want to "restore" to factory specs might find information like this helpful. I could publish my results if others would find it useful.
