Hello From Guelph, Ontario
I purchased a 1974 1450 2 years ago- excellent condition. I have a few questions for the forum: it has a 48” mower deck that doesn’t seem to raise properly at the front- there is an adjustment on the threaded rod attached to the deck but it almost seems like the entire set up is wrong- the lift arms when fully raised , only lift the front of the deck a couple inches. The rear is fully raised though. Also, is there a muffler add- on availabile to tone down the exhaust note a bit - it’s got a real bark to it when throttled up. Fantastic tractor though. Great forum here- glad to be on it!

Welcome!
The deck is a 44”. The hanger is also broken. The price in the middle should be straight maybe a broken weld? Or ?

Re: Hello From Guelph, Ontario
Are you referring to the piece on the tractor?

Yeah the portion to the center looks all out of wack. Post some pictures once you get it off the tractor.
