    Plan ol' gas cap for 1450 plastic tank

    My serial # is 538476. That must be the smaller filler neck version. As best I can tell, outside measure of threads is 1.75". I haven't had to resort to channel lock pliers to get mine off yet, but it comes close. I just want a simple cap, no gauge, that my older and somewhat arthritic...

    Plan ol' gas cap for 1450 plastic tank

    This is what I'm talking about. This cap is cheap, and it says it is 1-3/4" diameter. But does that mean that the cap is 1-3/4" in diameter and it fits a filler neck that might be 1-1/2" across. Or is the cap supposed to fit a 1-3/4" filler neck? It's frustrating, and as I said in previous...

    Plan ol' gas cap for 1450 plastic tank

    My diameter measure of inlet on tank is about 1.75" to the outside of threads. My understanding is that International used tanks with smaller inlet on some 1450s and larger inlets on later models...or vice versa. There are only a few rows of threads exposed on my tank, and it's kind of hard...

    Plan ol' gas cap for 1450 plastic tank

    Does anyone have a part number for an "official" or aftermarket plain-Jane plastic fuel tank cap that will fit the plastic tank on a 1450 tractor? I went down the road of getting a more expensive cap with the gauge built in. It does not screw on as easily as I think it should, and the gauge...

    Pair of 1450's just got last week.

    I bought a 1450 a couple of years ago, and last year I completely rebuilt it in what I refer to as my "Covid Tractor Project." Figured that if I was going to be sequestered at home, I might as well be productive. There is virtually no aspect of this 1450 that I didn't mess with in some way...

    Tires/Dash tin 1450/arm rests

    Skip, I sent you a PM yesterday regarding the arm rests. Didn't get a response, so I thought I'd check to make sure you saw it. Kent Williams

    1450 Engine Mounts

    I'm probably going to be breaking a bunch of rules by this posting, and if so I apologize. I've been in the process of a complete rebuild of my 1450 over the past several months, and I got my replacement mounts of ebay. New Cub Cadet ISO Motor Mounts 1000 1200 1250 1450 1650 | eBay I note...

    No spark 1450 w/ K321 engine

    Thanks. My points are brand new and are true Kohler brand. Before installing (and then again after installing) I dragged some 400 grit wet/dry sandpaper between the contacts a couple of times. I think they should be clean and bare. To make it clear, I have no intent on starting the engine as...

    No spark 1450 w/ K321 engine

    I think my grounds are good to the point where I know to make them. The body of the condenser is grounded via the bolt into the block. I don't see where anything else requires a ground. There are those two wires on the connector that I circled. One goes to the center terminal on the...

    No spark 1450 w/ K321 engine

    Long story, but last year I bought a pretty nice 1450. It smoked a bit, but otherwise ran fine. Had a goal to rebuild engine this past winter, but since we had virtually no winter here in NC, I didn't get to start on things until a month or so ago. Pulled the engine, and while at it decided...

    Linkage for hydraulic lift

    I'm living the dream doing a complete rebuild of my 1976 model 1450 Quiet Line. Before I disassembled most things I took pics for reference. I also have all factory manuals. That being said, I somehow didn't take a picture of how the linkage hooks up to the hydraulic cylinder, and the photos...

    Decal application on dash of 1450

    Thanks for that info. Do you happen to recall whether you applied the decal dry, or did you float it on with some soapy water? It's kind of a big decal with some complicated turns to put on dry. But with the texture I'm wondering if the water can be squeegeed out sufficiently. Such a...

    Decal application on dash of 1450

    While I have my tractor torn down just about all the way, I'm taking the opportunity to put on new decals where I've already painted and will save more accessible ones for later when I have time to paint those section. Tonight I pulled off the fiberglass dash since it's such a pain, and I'd...

    Stator to voltage regulator wires (1450 w/ K321)

    I'm still doing final clean-up and steps on my K321 engine rebuild. Being very meticulous and taking my time. When I disassembled things there was an incredible amount of dirt and gunk behind the flywheel and around the stator. It was packed almost solid with what I'd call "silt." I'd never...

    Help sought for ID on bracket

    Thank you. That makes sense. Now just have to remove coil and a few other things to be able to put it on.

    Help sought for ID on bracket

    I'm in the final stages of an engine rebuild on my 1450 with Kohler 321 engine. Also using the opportunity to paint a lot of the frame since it's easy to get to. I've got one leftover bracket that I have not been able to link up with its home. See photo. Does anyone recognize it and where...

    Baffled by ignition switch in 1450 Quietline

    Thanks for the suggestions/help posted. I ended up ordering a switch like the one shown above from a supplier of tractor (mainly Cub) parts. Cost $15. As Greg Lippert pointed correctly pointed out, while my 1450 has a connector with five slots in it, only FOUR of those actually make contact...

    Baffled by ignition switch in 1450 Quietline

    I've pulled the engine from my 1450 to rebuild, and while I have great access I'm dealing with a lot of other issues. I've been getting some flaky performance from my ignition switch, and I thought replacing that would be easy. HA! The plug on my tractor looks to be factory; it's a molded...
