Default Noob with a 1450
Got a couple of questions....

Picked up a 1450 last night. Traded it for my old non running craftsman lt4000 and $100. I think I got a fair deal. Hey, at least this one runs.

1. How can I tell what year tractor it is?
2. Only the right side of the deck lifts up. It looks like a pin has slipped through a hole on the left side under the frame. Does it just need a washer and cotter pin?
3. What model snow thrower do I need for this tractor?
4. How do I adjust that cam thing on the right side by my feet? What is it's purpose? It doesn't seem to move.

Thanks,

Ted

First, welcome to only Cub Cadets.

Try this kink if you do not have the owners manual.(Operators Manual for the QuiteLine Series.... Q/L Series ) It is on page 3 in the Technical Library-Tractors.

Hope this will help.

1. If you post the serial number, we can tell you what year it is.

2. Your pin is broken and missing. The missing pin is what we call a "Spirol" pin. The technical term is "Coil Spring Pin". You just need to get a new one and install it. And no, a roll pin probably won't hold up.

3. QA36A or QA42A. The 36 is s36" wide. The 42 is 42" wide.

4. The cam thing is to control your implement height. You adjust it to basically control your deck height. The lift will hit the cam and not allow it to drop any farther. You just need to lossen the black plastic bolt, adjust the cam, and then retighten. Just make sure you don't have any pressure on it.

Thanks. The only issue I see is that the arm that hits that cam doesn't seem to move when the deck moves.

And the SN# is 2050660U582653

Hey BajaGTO,

Is this what your talking about?


Like ajgross said loosen the black knob part and the cam will rotate to adjust. It dosnt move with the lift, it stays put and the lift arm runs into it. Get your height where you want it and rotate the cam around till it hits and tighten it up. Hope this helps:biggrin2.gif:

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.
