I bought a basket-case 1450 January 2012 (see http://www.onlycubcadets.net/forum/s...ad.php?t=29504) I was excited to get it because CCs are very hard to find here in California. What really made it a sweet deal were the attachments, wheel weights and 3 pt.
The tractor was a mess. I went at it and got it functional with a mix of new and used parts (see http://www.onlycubcadets.net/forum/s...ad.php?t=29556) I took it down to the frame and did the best I could with the budget I set. It aint pretty but it is functional. It does need a few small parts but I run it as-is and it runs great. I'll get to the stuff that it needs with time. The problems it has are more annoying than anything. The 1450 was a rewarding project and I have a machine that I'll hand down to one of my boys. I know it inside and out and would do it again in a heartbeat. One day when I got on top of the house projects (we bought a basket-case house in 2013 - see a pattern?) I'll tear it back down and paint it. I can't wait. Like Cadzag I was in Sears with my wife and boys once and we walked through the lawnmower area. She commented on the high price of a Craftsman riding mower and how much less I put into our 1450. I told her that you couldn't do what I was about to do with a 1450. I lifted the back end of the mower off the ground and flexed the frame. The salesman didn't like it but I made my point.

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.
