Angry Broken transmission mounts on my 1440
I'm having a problem with my 1440 while pushing snow. First let me say , I bought this tractor specifically for this purpose, and it is NOT working out very well. The snow blade attaches to the tear hitch via a long square tube, and runs the length of the tractor all the way to the front. One thought is that the frame could possibly be bent, but I really don't want to go with this theory because the frame is quite substantial and I don't think the 14 horse engine could produce that much power! The next theory is that the torque being produced by the weight of the snow on the rear end of the tractor could be causing the mounts to break due to the upward pressure being applied. Both theories were thought of by a guy who works on cubs all the time, and I am looking for anyone out there who may have had this same problem.
Anyone have any suggestions? I have ordered replacement parts and should have them in about a week. I really don't want to spend the money and time putting it back together just to have the same problem again!!

I moved this to the CCC area because a 1440 is an MTD/CCC. Broken trans mounts are very common in this series of tractor. It happens when the bolts get loose. Depending on how badly they are broken it may be able to be saved with a set of GT braces from Xtreme. Get me some pics. I need to see what is broken.

Welcome to OCC Jeff! As Sam said, pictures of the problem area would be great.
Also, it sounds like it has a non cub cadet snow blade attached if it attaches to the rear hitch?

Cub sold a snow blade that went to the hitch and was lifted by the rockshaft just like the deck is,they have a square tube on the mount that a flat plate slips into and then latches into the quick connect on the tractor to control side to side movement. I have a couple of those here.

Default pictures of the broken brackets
here are the broken brackets and the problem source, I think.....

Any other ideas? I really don't want to put on the new brackets until I figure out the cause of this!

That's a cub cadet blade but a blade setup off a LT and doesn't belong on a 1440. I'm assuming that is why the trans mounts broke. There is no support for that thing.

OK, so being I am new to this thing, what is it suppose to have. Someone mentioned a mounting system that utilized the deck mounting system. Any idea what that would look like?

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
