Default 1450 Finally gets a cork Hydro Gasket

Well it can wait no more! The cork hydro seal is done for... Dad bought this early 1450 (74 build date) in 1976. It has faithfully and continuously served our family for 40 years now! Mom still uses it weekly!!

I grew up on this tractor and cut half of the neighborhood in the 80's. I wish I had a clue how many thousand hours it has on the clock. (based on 75 hours a year which is about what it gets would be 3000 hrs!) We built the engine once in the late 80's... she got a paint job, a three turn CCC steering box, and a deck rebuild several years ago... other than those items, several sets of motor mounts and normal service that is all the old 1450 has ever asked for.

Mom has laid down the law though... the transaxle can't leak on her driveway or carport any longer!!

Dad and I will be tearing her down for the cork seal between the pump and the transaxle this week hopefully!

I'm sure we will find some other issues along the way

Good looking family heirloom Jay. Nice to see it's still serving the family fatefully after all these years.
Yep, your mom has spoken, time to fix it.

Dad used to garden heavily with this tractor. Back in the late 70's he adapted a Sears/Roper 3 point to this tractor and made it work with the hydraulic lift. We still have probably 10 different pieces of equipment with it.

He grew up with real 3 point hitches on farm tractors so he never really liked the Brinly sleeve hitch stuff

I can put the lift arms back on it and take some better pics if anybody is interested... it works Really well and you can do some really pretty gardening with it

Thanks Todd, I guess at this point it really is an heirloom!!

I've always wondered how many years you could get out of one of these things?

Mama aint happy nobody is happy!!

I replaced the cork gasket on my 982 and 782 . Just went down to auto parts store and got a roll of Felpro 3157 rubber fiber gasket material and cut out 2 of them with scissors.

Just looked at the Felpro specs, 1/32" thick sounds like it may be thinner than the cork OEM gasket. Hope it doesn't leak consider what a PITA it is to change.

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.
