Earl,
Yes, the top casting for the rear will fit. I actually have a Red rockshaft on my 1450 that I took off a CCC Red 782 that has a blown KT17.
However, you will need a wideframe lift bar, that goes from the lift arm where the cylinder is, to the rockshaft. You will also need the piece that bolts to the lift arm and connect to the lift rod. Also, if the doner had an aluminum rear the lower U-Bracket may be different. This is am not 100% on, since I've never dealt with an aluminum rear garden tractor.....
One other difference, depending on the year a quietline is, changes how the rear rockshaft is held on. The early tractors (Serial # 616145 and below) have a bushing welded to the frame where the rockshaft goes. If you have the bushings, there is a single rod that passed through the frame, both bushings, and the rockshaft. If it doesn't have bushings, (Serial # 616146 and Above) have 2 "Frankenstein" bolts with nuts that hold the rockshaft in place.
