Nate, Your best bet is to get in contact with a Cub Cadet dealership if you want the correct factory replacement parts. I don't believe the kits are sold any other way but as a whole, so getting just the parts you need might not be possible.
I installed the ISO mounts from Cub Cadet on my 1450 recently. I also followed directions and installed new lock nuts as well. I have since checked the four mounts, and have snugged them down as they seat and wear in a little. The ISO mounts are not a joke, but what is, is what's between some one's ears on this form who needs to be knocked back a peg or two.
Here's what IH had done in making the Quiet Line a better garden tractor. Keep in mind, no matter what some of the yuppies claim, the cast iron transmissions are with out doubt a stronger housing than the aluminum housings found in these so called "super" gts.
Now mind you, IH had been building these garden tractors since 1960, up to the introduction on the Quiet Line models.
ISO-mounts separate engine from frame. Flexible rubber isolators between engine and frame eliminate metal to metal contact so that operating vibration is reduced substantially. The result is less noise and a more comfortable and quieter ride for the operator.
Sure, from what I read, solid engine mounts will work too. But when you actually think about owner operator neglect to tractors, it can be considered why the ISO mounts have a bad rep after 35-40 years of use.
Its like why would CCC use a weak aluminum trans housing and install a stronger fine spline axels? Its makes about as much sense as using toilet paper before you use the john.
Good grief. Don't be scared off by what other members think is a joke.
