Turning radius on a 1450
I was thinking if anyone could give me some advice (or if it can be done) on how to modify the steering on a 1450 to increase the turning radius.

Get a super steer front axle from a 1440 and a 3 turn steering box.

I'd say to shave down the little stubs on the axles that the spindles stop against. I know that once you go past the stops, the steering gets more difficult to turn back to center. But that's just a guess.

Thanks Tim for the response. Now to find the parts. Is it pretty straight forward on installing, or is there tricks I need to know?

It's pretty straight forward but the super steer axle will make the front of the tractor sit a little higher so you will need to adjust the deck.

Another thing I've always thought about doing was welding a piece to the arm on the steering box to extend it and give it more throw, then modify the axle and spindles so the turn tighter.

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.
