Default Hello all, new 1450 project to use as I restore it

Hello Ladies and Gents,

I just bought a 1973 1450, that came with a plow and a extra Kohler 14hp. My Dad had a 1250 growing up, and had amazing memories on it. Looking to do the same for my kids. My 1450 runs, but once it warms up, it starts smoking. It's got a 14hp Kohler in it. I want to get the engine purring before putting it to work. I look forward to searching the forums for possible answers, I have along the way. First stop is how to adjust carb and points. It's got a revving problem.

Thanks for having me!

Welcome to OCC!

I had the same issue with my Cub 125 with a Kohler K301. I performed a leak down test and it revealed that the rings were shot. I wound up taking the engine out of the tractor, tearing it all the way down to the bare block and taking the block to the machine shop for measuring and repair recommendations. Had to get a .030” over piston and recut valve seats to 46°. I bought an ultimate rebuild kit from the people that save tractors and I’m rebuilding the engine this weekend.

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.
