I'm not 100% sure that it could be done but with everything with the know how, tools or the cash anything can be done. It would be a custom setup for sure. If it was me I'd keep using the 1450 for tilling duties. I can see desire of using the 1862 with power steering and tilt steering wheel you could sit and till all day long with out using very much energy.

I have a no. 2 tiller on the back of my 1864 (same tractor only with a command engine) and never had a problem with pulling the bolts out. The sleeve hitch off the 1450 will work with the 1862, you wll need the Frankenstein bolts to use it. I would change the pull on the gear box to the wider belt. The 1862 will be a better tractor to use than the 1450.
