Default 1250 or 1450

I'm going to trade a JD LX176 for one of the two in the subject line. The JD will run good when started, but starting it is the problem. Very hard to start, if you can start it. I suspect the ACR is bad in it and it's part of the cam shaft and that's NLA from Kawasaki and JD. It also has the common hood problem of that JD era - broken.

Anyways I might trade it for either a 1250 or a 1450. Both would be projects. The 1450 is really rough looking - someone at one time tried to paint it red. It will run but has a noise in the engine. It's also missing the head lights, grille insert, tie rod and the deck is rough.

The 1250 is in good shape, cosmetically. It's also complete, but will require an engine rebuild.

Though I would like the hdyro lift of the 1450, I'm leaning towards the 1250 as it's in the best shape. Both will probably need an engine rebuild.

Who knows I'm change my mind and pull the engine off that JD and see if I can fix the ACR, but I would rather have one of those Cubs instead. Whatever I do, will require some work and money.

Also I'd been told about a 1450 and a 1650 that I might go see. Decisions, decisions, don't you just love it when you have options?:biggrin2.gif:

I've got a 1250 and really like it. I too would like the hydro lift. So just do what I plan to do. End up with both models . Buy the 1250 now and fix it up, then locate and buy a 1450 later when $$$ allows. Yeah it will probably take me a couple more years to be able to get one, but then again, this yellow fever seems to be a life long affliction, so I have time on my side...

With all the problems the 1450 has you should be able to get it cheap. Trade for the 1250 and offer the guy a little bit of cash for the 1450 and then swap the hydraulic lift.

Just add the hydro lift to the 1250. That is what I am doing right now.

Default 1450

My 1450 made a horrible engine noise too...so I thought. It turned out to be a simple fix of replacing the motor mounts. There's a bare spot on the top where it was hitting the side.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
