Default 44C deck on 1450
Hey guys
Maybe a question already covered somewhere but I cannot seem for the life of me to be able to find an answer. A guy in my area has a 44c deck for sale and I was wondering if it would work on my 1450? If so, what changes would I need to make etc. Thanks again!

A 44C deck has a 5/8 pulley on it, where the 1450 would have a 1/2" pulley on it. As far as the mule drive, I think the 44C deck will work with the same mule drive that a 44A would. The mule drives will have different size pullies also. Do note that the mule drives for the C decks as used on the X82 series had the front lift forks placed closer together, whereas the older style decks had the forks placed a further apart. These are both wide frame mule drives, though.

You really need a 44/50A mule drive and carriage...believe it or not, the "C" ones are slightly different because the engine on the 82 series is a bit further forward. The belt alignment might be kind of screwy without the right parts.

I had read on your website that the PTO alignment on the x82 series was slightly different - never thought about that affecting the mule drive.

So it sounds like it would not be worth it to try and use a 44c deck, just try and find a 44a then...damn, just when I thought I found a good deal thanks

If the moneys right you could buy it and trade someone for the 44a. Just a thought.

I put a 44C on a 128, I think I remember it being a drop-on, one front lift had to be moved to a different hole!!

The belt had to be a different length, I just took the assembly to a rubber shop, they even helped me size the correct belt.

The greatest advantage was the tip speed increase as the 1/2" belt dropped down into that 5/8" pulley!!

I ran it for many years.

I just picked up a 44C deck this weekend!! I don't know what it will go on yet, maybe my soon to be 1200!!??

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.
