I finally got all the repairs done on the 1450 - about 4 years of maintenance in in a couple weeks (mail order parts take forever). New hydro oil, hydro filter, new belts, painted the deck, replace one deck bearing, spark plug, fresh engine oil and filter. Fired up on the second revolution and took off just like it did 20 years ago. I have found two problems in my test run last night;

1. The hydro level likes to creep forward, I'm sure there is an adjustment but I didn't look for it last night in the dark (I didn't get around to looking at the manual either).

2. The previous owner had put bolt in the slide to stop the hydro control lever from going all the way forward. I left the stop in place, but even with it I guessing the forward speed as to be about 12-13 mph, way more then the 8 mph its suppose to be. When I took off out of the barn my wife thought I'd snuck home a 4 wheeler when it flashed by the kitchen window.

The reverse speed appears normal but is the extremely fast forward speed an indication of a bigger problem?

i just got a cub cadet 1250, it hauls a$$. my wife rides it, i ride my cub 124 gear drive, i cant catch her. mows well at darn near full speed where the 124 only mows well in first gear.
my stop is worn to the point that it doesnt work, but the hyrdo lever does stay where i put it.

1450 came with a stop you set where you want it to keep motion arm to the limit you want,it sides up and down in the dash slot.there is also a friction adjustment under the dash to apply pressur on the motion arm.

The stop is long gone, but I'll look for the friction adjustment.

Thanks.
