If you do disassemble, get your pocket book out. The trunnion shaft lists for $264. It's called a trunnion shaft BTW, not a sector.
Go to the tech section on this site, where I referred you to earlier, download the chassis manual for the 1450. It covers disassembly of the hydro.

The parts book called it a sector shaft. That's why I used that term.
I think I may leave it alone. My plans for this tractor are to do a "mechanical restoration" this year meaning I will replace broken/missing parts and clean it up without getting it to new cosmetic condition. I have work to do with it now and I want to get it in operational shape. My wife wants her garden in by mid-March.
Next winter I want to do a full restoration. If there is a problem with the hydro controls beyond what I fix or replace I'll fix it then.
