Well, after 6 hours, a case a beer, new fuel line, flushed tank, rebuilt carb, new solenoid, new switch/key, oil change, fixing the neutral safety switch, and adjusting the points, she purrs like a kitten!
 My friend came over last night to help work on the new toy and boy did we have a night ahead of us. A couple highlights; when it originally stopped cranking when you would turn the switch, I had figured it to be solenoid or switch (after checking basic wiring, except the safety switch but more on that in a minute). I bought both and figured on taking back the one I didn't use. Replaced the switch: nothing. Replaced the solenoid: nothing. Hmm...we ended up coming to OCC and checking a wire diagram. My friend happens to be an electrical engineer so he made quick sense of it. After piddling with the stupid thing for literally hours, I reached under and plugged a loose safety switch connection back in and boom, she cranked over. Doh!  Another highlight, once we got it started, it would idle alright but sputtered and puked when I gave it throttle. After checking various things, we ended figuring out someone had put new points on it, but never gaped them We worked on adjusting them and finally got it right. So, me being the curious fellow I am, hooked the deck back up and took it out. The deck that I was told killed it ended up mowing half of my front yard at 1 in the morning  So, overall, I'm very happy with the 1450. I'm much more impressed with the Quietline series than I thought I was going to be. Runs smooth, very little vibration, responsive, and doesn't look half bad to boot. Sorry for rambling, just felt like sharing the good news!

Gotta love it when things have minor problems that people don't know how/don't want to deal with so they sell the whole thing, and you (the buyer) can get them going again for cheap. Glad it's mowing well.

Fantastic news! Not at all surprised about that switch being one problem. I picked up a new my yard vac for $5 because of safety switches. Great looking machine. You should till up the leaves in the yard now.

just wanted to throw out a big thank you to j-mech for helping me get the points set right. She was running pretty good but with the pointers and advice you gave me, she is running like a top. I will post pictures in a bit of her running the tiller for the first time but it's good to have a solid running machine.

Oh and one more thing. I checked the transmission fluid today and found it was low. After topping it off, I realized that it took over 2 quarts to get it full No wonder the hydro was a little more wonkee than I expected it to be.

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.
