Coming aboard from Elgin,IL
Hi everyone! I love reading the many stories and learning alot of good stuff from this site so far, I hope to contribute a few of my own as I continue to go through may 1976 built 1450.
I got my 1450 from my late father who gave it to me as a wedding present in 1985. Hey it was 9 years old but a good machine and is still working hard. But my story even goes farther back. My Father worked for IH for 35 yrs and I grew up with just about everything from IH including a Frig, window Air conditioner, mowers etc... My dads job was writing the service manuals for all IH Farm tractors including the cubcadet, yes he is even picture in a few of them holding various parts to show how thing came apart or went together. He got me hooked on a cubcadet when I was very young he would sometime take me to work with him in the summer and let me drive one around. I always wanted one but we lived in the big city with a small yard. He always told me that he would get one for me and he did! Well this year the old girl is starting to show her age and I started going through her part by part and replacing anything that is worn or not in spec. In the next few weeks I will be rebuilding the engine since she is burn oil now. I hope with dads books and a little help from you all I will bring the old girl back to all her glory!

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.
