Well, I have started to restore a 1450. This restore was not the original intent of the purchase of this tractor. It was intended to be just an engine donor for my 1200 (I guess it would have been a 1400!)
The engine of the 1450 had a damaged oil pan due to neglect of the ISO mounts.
When I removed the engine, I was intrigued by the frame, it must have been a late model, as the front axle mount had slotted holes rather than round holes.
I had not done a "cradle mod" before, so I figured this would be a good experimental tractor. If I failed, the engine would just go to its original intended tractor. The mod turned out perfect.
