This thread got me wondering what type of ISO rubber mounts I have on my 1450. When I bought the 1450 five years ago before doing any work on it I bought a set of ISO rubber mounts figuring the ones on the 1450 were probably worn out. The ones I bought are cherry red and pretty hard. All eight are identical. A month later when I worked on the tractor installing a muffler crutch and repairing the air box I took a closer look at the ISO and it appears the previous owner had recently replaced the ISO rubber mounts with these black ones, so I never used the red ones. The tractor runs pretty steady so the black ones must be softer than these cherry red ones, and working. Much steadier than my 149's, that is the body doesn't rock side to side that much.
As to top or bottom ISO rubber being sold separately, that is true as one of our sponsors Cub Classics sells just the upper mounts at the bottom of page 2.
If the upper and lower rubber are supposed to be different I've only found one vendor with those, and that is CCSpecialties.org near the bottom of the clutch-driveline page.
Here is a question. Some vendors sell a ISO engine snubber with a threaded stem (part number IH-61510-C1). Anyone know where this goes as I don't think I have seen it in my 1450.
