1450 help
Hey guys
A buddy of mine and I are working on a 1450 we picked up this last weekend in hopes of it being a mowing machine. The tractor appears to be in reasonable shape and the engine/trans seem strong. The guy we bought it from only used it as a snowblower and had limited info about the machine. He gave us a couple of mule drives, a mower deck, an attachment that we cant figure out and the blower that was attached to the tractor. We found that the deck is a 44C and it is in rough shape. It appears that someone Frankenstein-ed the two mule drives together to get the 5/8 pulley on it. The tractor appears to have the original 1/2" pulley on the engine. The snowblower has a 5/8" pulley on it and currently has a gates belt on it. So being new to these particular tractors we were hoping someone could shed some light on what things should be. There is a guy nearby that sells a lot of cub parts so we are planning to go visit him but was hoping we could learn a bit more before we went there. As i said this is going to be a working machine so being original for the sake of restoration isnt the goal but having a reliable and properly setup machine is. So with that said, should we just go get a 44A deck and return the yellow mule drive in the photos back to original state or is there an advantage to using the heavier belt setup? Does anyone know what the attachment is that has the black sheet metal on the front? Any other advice is appreciated as well. Thanks a lot! Adam

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.
