I own a 1450 and when I got it it needed new ISO mounts, new oil pan, flex discs, all the usual stuff. I did not want to buy the expensive ISO mounts, so I swapped everything over to a 129/149 frame, and mounted the engine solid. I think I had to shorten the driveshaft a little. I don't have the side panels, so that wasn't an issue. I think it was a justifiable modification. It shakes a little at idle, but smooths out at WOT mowing speed.
The electric PTO is the bomb. But I wouldn't want to buy a new one.
