1450 help
Hey guys
A buddy of mine and I are working on a 1450 we picked up this last weekend in hopes of it being a mowing machine. The tractor appears to be in reasonable shape and the engine/trans seem strong. The guy we bought it from only used it as a snowblower and had limited info about the machine. He gave us a couple of mule drives, a mower deck, an attachment that we cant figure out and the blower that was attached to the tractor. We found that the deck is a 44C and it is in rough shape. It appears that someone Frankenstein-ed the two mule drives together to get the 5/8 pulley on it. The tractor appears to have the original 1/2" pulley on the engine. The snowblower has a 5/8" pulley on it and currently has a gates belt on it. So being new to these particular tractors we were hoping someone could shed some light on what things should be. There is a guy nearby that sells a lot of cub parts so we are planning to go visit him but was hoping we could learn a bit more before we went there. As i said this is going to be a working machine so being original for the sake of restoration isnt the goal but having a reliable and properly setup machine is. So with that said, should we just go get a 44A deck and return the yellow mule drive in the photos back to original state or is there an advantage to using the heavier belt setup? Does anyone know what the attachment is that has the black sheet metal on the front? Any other advice is appreciated as well. Thanks a lot! Adam

The PTO on a 1450 is not for a 5/8" belt, so.....
Change the pulley on the blower to a 1/2" pulley. No big deal. Change the center pulley on the deck to a 1/2" pulley that fits the 44A". They are still available new. Then, use the mule drive for the 44A. Move the lift pin on the front of the deck to the wider spot. Easy peezy. The "extra" attachment is a homemade cobble job that appears to be for mounting a front blade. Scrap it.

Thanks for the reply Jonathan. I didn't know that the pulley swap was that easy. If i swap out the pulleys for the 1/2'" will the normal belt for the 44a deck work on this one or will it be different? Also if i swap out the center pulley on the deck will I also have to change the other two pulleys on the deck? Sorry i am not familiar with the different decks.

The narrower center pulley will have a narrow pulley on top to match the engine and mule drive idlers.
If you are asking about the belt & pulleys on the spindles of the deck, they are all narrow--- using an "A" belt.

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.
