Default 127 Seat plate mounting?

Just curious if someone could tell me how the pivot seat plate on a 127 should be mounted. Flange up...or flange down? The parts breakdown shows flange down but a lot of pics (original ads) show flange up. Same for a lot of the member submitted pics, have seen it both ways. It will probably "work" either way, just curious what the "factory" way was mounted. Either way, were there bumpers on the fender pan to eliminate metal to metal contact? The parts diagram lists a "dual springs" entry for the #3 plate but doesn't show any item other than the slotted plate. Depending on style, these would probably determine how the plate is mounted (to keep it level), either a thin rubber bumper or longer spring.

Getting close to firing this thing up! Battery installed, wiring with safeties ok, turns over with spark...........all good! Now some gas and see if it makes noise.

My 147 has bumpers on the fender pan assembly to keep the pan from hitting it on the back. I've thought the same thing too- IMO all the pics I've seen of the 1X6/7 series has it down (to form a U shape when looking at it from the front/back) and then they flipped it for the next model.

On a second look, it appears that it goes with the plate down and flanges facing up. I say this because of the cutouts on the plate that allow for clearance for the bolts below (unless they're just there for access to the bolts with the seat down). What have people used for the rubber bumpers? Any good sources?

I used 2 Quiet Line snubber bumpers Part Number: IH-61510-C1 on my 128. The original style bumpers aren't heavy enough for my petite boyish size.

I used the ones from McMaster brought up in this thread:

http://www.onlycubcadets.net/forum/s...t=seat+bumpers

Works pretty well. Little bit tall but nothing to complain about.

I'm assuming you used the hard rubber ones for bumper effect only, not the soft rubber ones for increased cushioning?

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.
