Default Loader install on a 1450

I picked up a loader tonight to install on my beater 1450. I have wanted a loader for a while and found one this weekend and just had to pull the trigger on buying it. My 1450 has not had a purpose since I picked up my 782, so it just makes sense to me to make it a dedicated loader.

The loader is in pretty good shape, It is a montgomery wards loader, but it looks identical to a johnson. It has kwik way cylinders and a dual spool from a JD 318 with float. It needs some new hoses, paint and some modification to fit my cub, but I hope to have it working in two or three weeks.

Some questions:
What fluid to run in it in the winter or all year?
Does anyone have some literature on wards or johnson loaders?
Recommendations on a pump to replace the factory cessna pump. I want something faster acting.
Any input or info on foot operated hydro controls.

I know there are alot of questions here but any input or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Congrats and welcome to the loader club . Boy, it sure does look like a Johnson. Hopefully you won't have to do too much modifying. The bars going back to the rear axle look long, but you should be able to shorten them and put a bracket around the rear axle. What's the distance between the front brackets? Will the 1450 fit between them?

Overall, the loader looks to be in great shape! Congrats and can't wait to see your progress.

The rear tubes are really long and they will have to be shortened a bunch. The side brackets appear to be around an inch to close together. I enjoy the metal fabrication part of these jobs, but not looking to being covered in hyrd. fluid.

I have to say I like the idea for foot controls. Bobcat Loaders are a good place to start I would say. As long as you have to single valves, I think that will be awesome.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
