We need add'l information. Measure the cut-width of the deck from LH Blade Tip to RH Blade tip, ie: 38, 44, or 50.

I'm getting a measurement of 44"

You have a model 44 Mower Deck.

The 44 mower deck was designed for the 1x8/9 Series Tractors. It will fit on a 1450 (Q/L Series) with one small modification. The Center Drive Pulley will have to be changed to: IH-126393-C1. With that change, you will need belt: IH-117465-C1

Just for the heck of it......measure the Diameter of the Center Pulley. Maybe, just maybe, it has already been changed. Let us know.

Okay will do, I'll get a measurement as soon as I get home today

I measured 3 9/16"

If I have the original pulley set up, do we know what size belt it originally takes with out upgrading the pulley?

OK...something is wrong here. Are you measuring the pulley at the outer most diameter..?? :Huh:

Yes, this was the O.D. Of the pulley?
