My 1450 restore is underway
 Hi gangAs I posted in another thread. I came across this baby when I was helping a friend of mine clean his dads shop and selling stuff after they had to put him in a rest home. His dad had worked on tractors for over 50 years and had quite a collection of tractor related items including 5 cub cadets in the early to late 80s. Billy (my friend) told me his dad worked on all brands of tractors but was really partial to cubs. While poking around I noticed back in a corner of the shop something covered with a tarp. When I pulled the tarp there she sat partly torn down. I ask Billy about it and he told me his dad had bought it several years ago with the intentions of restoring it himself and had started working on it but never finished. He also told me that when his dad got it was running and was still cutting grass. Any way long story short I got the tractor and all the parts we could find and so far everything is here except the mower deck the ignition switch and the pto switch. Here's a pic or two of it the way the way I found it.

Looks like a fun project! The ignition switch, pto are easy to replace. Several aftermarket and you can get them from cub too. Decks are out there too. Have fun, keep us posted!

Update on restoration of 1450. I got the little bugger tore apart and after about a gallon of purple power and lots of pressure washing it's ready for sanding and glazing some rough rust spots. Tare down wasn't to bad PB blaster works miracles. Had hep big trouble getting the steering wheel pulled, I tried most everything in the book short of cutting it off. But was finely able to get it with a gear puller set I picked up at Harbor Freight (the big boy tool toy store). Got parts ordered and they are on the way. Lots of good information on OCC website about these older Cubs. Anyway i'll post updates as work progresses.

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.
