Observations of Quietline Vibration
I have two Quietlines, one is a 1000 and the other is a 1650 with a K321. I just got the 1650 running after pulling the head and cleaning it up a bit. The original ISO mounts and cradle were all in good shape so I elected not to have the cradle modification done. The 1000 has a stock K241 but since it is a mild pulling tractor I installed the Brian Miller solid mounts.
I did a side by side comparison last night and they weren't even close. The 1000 runs through the entire RPM range much more smoothly than the 1650. Vibration transmission to the seat is much less on the 1000. Loping along at idle the big 321 really gets the tractor swaying back and forth. It doesn't really bother me and I kinda think it looks cool, for now. Just thought I would offer up these results. We occasionally hear concerns about the solid mounts shaking you to death but this is not my experience. I would recommend the solid mounts to anyone who happens to be pulling their engine (and doesn't mind going non OEM) and will probably go ahead and install them on the 1650 when the opportunity comes up.

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.
