@ sugarmaker it's kind of a rarity to find a quietline with the side panels intact, especially one that needs a restoration. The guy I got my pair of 1450s from said he had a set, but they were unable to find them for me. (I still think he was going to sell them to someone else for a pretty penny)
Call Rich Patton he's go them and for a fair price too! He's also one of our fine site sponsers.

Man that thing looks sweet. What a difference from the original pic. I love seeing cubs being brought back from the dead or near dead. A 1450 was my dad's first cub cadet. I wish I could find one someday.

Default 1450 paint
Had a couple inquireries about the paint products used.... so here you go

The under coat on the interior of the frame and on the mower deck is Westwood rust encapsulator .... some hotrodders use this

The white panels are all blasted and powder coated ... they called it arctic white.

The yellow parts I stripped , sanded then used a two part epoxy primer ... on top of this are two coats (applied w/ a roller) Por 15 Hardnose dark yellow
(two part paint) it does have a little fish eye to it but for a roller applied paint it flowed out nice .... the advantage is if you scuff up or scratch the finnish its easy to do a quick sanding and reroll another coat to the nearest body line .... this stuff appears to be plenty tuff also.

guess that covers it , hope that helps

Bryan

Bryan, how much did the powder coating of all the white panels set you back? I've been thinking about looking into powder coating myself when I get there.

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.
