I agree with Mr. Bedell that the ISO mounts, installed correctly do their job, and do it well.
I bought a Cub Cadet 1250, my first, about 4 years ago. It looked good, ran good, and the P.O. is a person whos integrity is rare today. He told me it needed mounts, the modification, steering repair, and some other minor stuff. When I got it home, after the joy of the first Cub wore off, I took the thing apart and began to repair. I thought it was a nightmare, thus its name: "1250 Nightmare."
A wise cubber told me to keep working on it. I had to figure out how to adjust the Cub Cadet motor mounts to the engine and the tractor. Once I got the new Cub Cadet motor mounts adjusted properly, I have had a world of enjoyment with this tractor.
The genuine Cub Cadet ISO mount kits are not symmetrical. As Mr. Bedell says, Install them and adjust them properly, and they will work very well.
It seems to me that solid mounts will only transmit vibration, not dampen it.
Respectfully,
Brian Wittman
