Questions about 1450/1650

[cdlong]

I mow and do snow removal for several retirees in our subdivision. My pay is usually a meal or baked goods. I'm currently using a 1971 Sears SS-12 that my father purchased new. We had 2 big snows this year and the gear drive with manual lift just ain't cutting' it, I'm getting' too old. I'm looking to purchase a 1450 or 1650. As I've owned a 140H3, I want hydraulics.

My questions are:
1. Can additional hydraulics ports be added to the 1450 and 1650 for hydraulic angle blades and hydraulic lift 3 point hitches? I need to use front dozer blade and rear grader blade together.

2. How can I find out what attachments fit these tractors? I'd like a tiller, angling front dozer blade, snow blower and 3 point hitch and possibly a cab.
Thanks for any and all help.

First, Welcome to our Forum..........

The 1450/1650 came with hydraulics for implement lift. SOME came with dual Hydraulics with a factory option for front hydraulics.

NOW I have seen the ingenuity of some Cub Owners where they have "tee'd " into the line going to the front ports and pipe up a port for rear implements,

I have also seen where some Cub Owners have added a third Hydraulic Valve for rear implements in conjunction with the Dual Spool Valve.

There a a number of implements for the IH Cub Cadets. Look into our Implement Section and the Implement Tech Library to see most of these options.

Thank you sir!

Thanks for the info. I found what I needed except for the model snowthrower or snowblower that fits the 1450.

QA36A, QA-42A, and 364 are the snowthrowers that'll fit a 1450.
