Jay, your 1450 looks terrific! I appreciate the history of your tractor too. Dad first had a 72 then he upgraded to a 1000 which mowed about a gazillion acres as well. With a little love and lotsa money these tractors just keep on keeping on. Beers to your 1450!!!

You are too kind. It is about the worst looking (running) tractor I have. Usually ugly, junky ones get parted...but not this one...I like it too much.
