I have owned both and would take the 149 over the 1450. I really didn't care for the ISO mounts in the 1450 any thing between idle and full throttle the tin work vibrated horribly and that was with new ISO mounts, but the 1450 was a little smoother at full throttle than the 149. If you do get a 1450 closely inspect the ISO mounts and drive-line before you buy it I made that mistake and cub parts aren't that cheap

All good points. Both are great machines and will work circles around anything in their class.
The Quiet Line tractors were very different from the earlier model Cubs. About the only parts that are the same between the Q/L series and 1X8/9 tractors is the transaxle and a few pieces of tin. With a Q/L tractor, if you intend to end up with "no problems" worker, you will want to pay special attention to the drive shaft and related parts. What happens is that the rubber motor mounts become crushed over time and cause the engine to set crooked in the frame. This causes the drive shaft to become out of align with the transaxle, then the connecting parts wear quickly. To the best of my knowledge the rubber mounts and the parts that wear out or break are pretty expensive. The 149 doesn't have these issues, not that it doesn't have parts that wear, because it does. There are just fewer parts and much less expense. There is the possibility that the PO of this 1450 has already replaced the mounts and drive line parts and that is why the tractor is "somewhat pricey". A Quiet Line tractor that is in good mechanical condition, should run quietly with little to no vibration and very few rattles. If the engine shakes and the tin vibrates, then there is probably much work and expense in it's future to correct the problems. Good luck with your decision.

[QUOTE=jimbob200521;227920]I beg to differ, aside from the side panels. Those things are uuuuuuugly. But the rest is pretty similar to the 149, plus I like the hydro control on the right hand side.
![]() The bad thing about the hydro handle on the right side is you need two right hands to move the hydro lever and move the hydraulic lift lever...... ![]() That's why they moved the hydraulic lift to the left side on the 782's. Pretty much out of luck with the manual lifts. ![]()

That's funny, I've always desired the look of a QL than a 1X8/9 series.

How do you check the iso mounts if you were looking at a tractor for sale?

You put your hands on the engine, and push it to see, if it moves. If the engine moves, the mounts need to be replaced.

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.
