It's a disease I tell you! Oh no not again...
 

This is an update on one of my older posts







This morning I checked Craig's List and saw something that caught my interest..


$300 delivered to my house. A 1450 with some goodies.

Power angle blade is a real goodie! Wheel weights a bonus also.

Was told it was running last year..

I really like working on them and just couldn't help myself. All the tin work is there and is actually more complete than the 1650. BTW, my hood I bought for my 1650 came today and it is in really nice shape. I am waiting for some other little parts for the 1650 and I should be able to finish it up soon. Then I get to start on my newest project...

:beerchug:

GREAT SCORE!! Looks like it's missing one of the hydraulic "sticks" :bigthink:

what jonathan said:beerchug:

Looks like it just unscrewed and is gone.. threads are there. All I need it a new stick to screw on.

The wood front roller is still on the mower deck... Now I have two decks to work with. My 1650 deck didn't have a front roller and didn't look like it had one to begin with, but it has to rollers on the outsides of the front.. This new (to me) deck has a roller but not the outside front rollers. Maybe if you have the two outside you don't get the wide center front one.. :bigthink:

I put a middle roller on the 1650 deck anyway.

WOW that is a great deal. What impressed me the most was the remote option on the blade, that is a rarity. I saw, for the hydraulic cylinder alone, prices topping 100+ at Red Power Round Up in June (and there was only maybe 2 available.) You did very well!

Is the missing stick for the dual setup something I might be able to find online or is it something I will have to make? What would it's official name be?

Nice score and an even better price !!

Maybe you could find the rod for the dual hydro , but people usually sell all of the dual hydro parts together , BIG $$$$ !!

I would just take a piece of rod and cut some threads on both ends. Really no difference IMO , except the OG handle was chrome plated.

You can get the tapered handles here ...

Thanks for the link!

Great score on the dual stick:beerchug:

Here's a link also. http://www.partstree.com/parts/?lc=c...&dn=0028100030

I really like the help you guys give. If any of you have any questions on old British motorcycles or Oriental Carpets ask away... :beerchug:

I am really tempted to throw some gas in it and trying to start it but I think I will check everything before I do. (But darn, the temptation is really great)

all that extra handle is is a threaded rod both ends same thread as the knob on the other handle the chrome was a sleeve you slid over the plain steel the chrome part has been nla have not checked on the other handle in a few years since I bought one 10 years ago

Nice score! Make the rod out of stainless and forget about it. Cheaper than finding one with poor chrome.

That is a darn good idea! Drain and inspect the oil.

What a AWESOME-AWESOME QL! Good job! Has to be the deal of the year.

That is what I'm gonna do. Get the knob from the source listed above and be done with it.

Congrats on the dual stick 1450!:beerchug:

Nice score on the 1450 and goodies!

road trip
 

Great find I will give you 350.50 for it and drive up to get it then you wont have to work on it. I check CL weekly and never find cubs in fl.:bash2:

I think they dropped it at the wrong place i need another one! Just kidding , congrats on the score! :bash2:

Progress update..

Almost all is done. Still have to do tail lights, grill, new stick for dual hydro controls, remove and replace steering wheel and do dash and double check all controls and fittings under there. Got the decal set to put on.

Started right up and amazing how quiet it is when you fix all the rattles.

They are around but scarce. Have yet to see a QL around me. Nice job again mr. In the way. I'm jealous........again. Virginia has a lot of quiet lines it seems and you are sure getting them snatched up. Nice work for sure

nice work! looking good man
