Hello Hydro Harry! Happy Thanksgiving one and all!
I would like to take after Charlie and install a grease fitting in the rear lift that I have on my 1450, and that would bring the total number of fittings to 11!
Ok, here goes.... I got from Cub Cadet two new front rims which are the wide style with new inner and outer wheel bearings that are 1 inch inside diameter to mate the 1 inch wheel spindle upgrade. Turns out to be 1 grease fitting on the inside of each new rim.
Next, I purchased from Charlie a while ago, all new heavy duty tie rod ends with a grease fitting on each; 2 for the drag link, and 2 for the tie rod. We're up to 6 at this point.
Count the 3 on the front axel, and 1 on the Ross automotive steering unit and the total comes to be 10 grease fittings.
On a side note, no 1450 action clearing snow yet this year. While the weather produced a lot of snow, and the temperature is now 25*, the gravel driveway, and the roadways remained largely clear. We did not receive all the snow fall predicted.
I'm ready to use my 1450!
Dale - Its nice to see the 800 again! That top cover is going to look great too. So, you are making progress to the 800? I have the 50" mower deck for my 1450 to refurbish and paint next.
I love the forum found here at IH Cub Cadet.com!Keep up the good information fellow enthusiasts!
