Quietline Motor Mounts
 

Hi All: Anyone have a quick and easy way to determine condition of motor mounts on 1650 & 1200?

....look at them? :bigthink: you should be able to crawl under the tractor and get a visual of them. If they're smashed, they need replaced. Otherwise, pull the motor.

If they are really bad, you will most likely find the engine rails sitting on the axle cross member!

If they are bad, you will also more than likely be replacing some driveshaft bushings front and rear.

Here are some links that will help you with your QL.

A good indication is if you can just grab the engine and rock it side to side.

Thanks to everyone for their help, especially Mr. Wayne. I was unable to log back on for some reason and could get no response from webmaster. So... now I'm cameraman1650. Thanks again, Case

If you decide to replace the rubber mounts with solid steel ones, I sell them for $40 shipped ( USA )

just the motor mounts

Not that this question hasn't been asked 1000000000x times over, but as someone who sells the solid mounts, do you have much feedback from people that don't use them on pullers as far as vibration? Such as vibration compared to previous models or models after? I just spent the day installing new rubbers up front (the "bumpers" as I call them, not the mounts) as well as "tweaking" the mounts and I still get a good amount of vibration. Granted, these aren't actual Cub Cadet mounts, but they are close enough. Just figured the "Quiet"lines would be smoother and quieter, maybe it's just me. I've debated going solid mounts, just hate to spend the money if it's not going to get any better.

I can't compared a rubber mounted engine since I have narrow frames which are all solid mounts.

Everyone who has purchased their solid mounts have been happy but I can assumed they knew what they were getting with the purchase.
