1450 build from a newbie
Howdy all,
This is my first cub. Picked it up from a guy and it became apparent the maintenace had not been in this machines life for about 10 years. It was running when i got it, so truth be told i was very happy abou that. I did one lap around the yard and brought it in for the overhaul. This is my 1450 next to my generally worthless Craftsman DYS 4500. (well not worthless, my wife uses it to mow the front lawn, but my backyard is mountain and it just didnt have the...Gears.  What is sad is that i can see the original decals looking pretty clean through that rattle can black.   Began the teardown  Im pretty sure this is factory     No need for an air filter for the last few years   So far the only POL leak i have is from the transmission. Theres lots of little things i need to do cosmetically, but im going to re-wire, take the ol' kohler to the machine shop ect. There will be alot more to follow, but for now im off to locate parts. I am currently looking for a cub parts dealer, or a good service shop in missouri, and the following parts Dash tin, tie rod ends, better seat, all the other things you guys can see off hand.

Congrats on the 1450 pickup! Like most people, I had to go through mine when I bought it. It will be a great tractor when your done! That tie rod end looks familiar...is that 12 ga? I held mine on the same way for half a summer before I replaced it. You can get them a lot of places like McMaster Carr, it's a standard 3/8" rod end. Good luck!

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.
