Kraig; I have not gotten that far with my little project yet. I am going under the assumption that if I can get the frame for the 450 mounted, I can somehow make the lift work. I have 1 complete 450 and a second one w/o the hitch. Both were free. My qa 42 works well except in the wet snow. I used to have an 1811 with the 450, but for some reason, I sold it. The 450 worked well, and I would like to get it hooked up to the 1450. Thanks for your comments and the schematic. That should come in handy.
