I do not understand. The ISO mounts are sold as a Kit, which included the Top & Bottom bushings, with spacers and washers.

Are you looking for something other than this kit...??

Well I musta confused myself as I was under the impression the kit only supplied the upper rubber mounts. I'll have to go check again. I did not keep any of the original hardware and rubbers and its been 3 years since I took it off. The ol' memory fades fast.

Thanks,
Nate

I'd toss them and go solid mounts. That rubber mount system in the QL's is a joke.

I must be among those that can't get them right, I wasn't able to get my Quietline right when I had it! And IH must have agreed; the mounting system in the 82+ Series Cubs didn't use them

I have heard rumors about those out there that got em right and I'm still wanting to drive one of em!

Even if they're right, they are still not anywhere near as good as the system on the 1282, 680, 1050..... I do not like the rubber mount system on the QL's. It's not about getting it right or correct, you can't have a motor that is able to move with a flex disc driveline. It's hard on the driveline. The gear drive QL's are the worst.

I've just read thru this thread, all the back & fourth's, and still don't understand, just WHY would anyone want to put 4 new rubber mounts along with 4 old ones? At least, I think that if one was going through the trouble to change the things, wouldn't one want ALL NEW RUBBER instead of half & half? Throw them 4 old ones away ( the garbage man needs them) and get yourself all new mounts. I'd also while it's apart replace those drive line rubber flex drive disc no matter how GOOD they look. If the mounts are gone, you can be assured everything in the entire drive line has been TAXED TO THE LIMIT! Who Knows, spend a few extra $$$$ and it all may last 20 more years! Happy Wrenching!

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.

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.
