Hey all, I am new to the forum and recently acquired a 1450 with a tiller and absolutely love it thus far.

Already tilled the garden with it here in Western Pennsylvania and may do it again before we plant anything.

As I read some of the posts and learn more about this machine, I believe the ISO motor mounts may be in wrong and wanted to post some pics for experienced opinions. These are the rear mounts and the front appear to be installed the same way and in about the same shape.

I also see a thread for a cross brace between the engine mounting rails, is this something I should implement?

Any other suggestions on what else I should check and or replace when the engine is out assuming my assumption on their orientation is correct and I need to change the mounts.

Thanks
