Since I will have to put new motor mounts in, should I get a rail setup welded together? I don't have a welder, so I'll have to find one! Anyone have one? Any good mounts on the aftermarket side or should I go with factory Cub mounts?

Have a qualified welder connect the rails. There is an excellent procedure here outlining this necessary modification.
I have had very good results with the OEM Cub Cadet engine mounts. Keep in mind it is an old Quietline and it will continue vibrate and rattle to some degree.

Good Luck!

I make solid mounts and could do the cradle mod too.

Jeff, how much vibration is there with the solid mounts? The cost compared to Cub mounts?

I didn't notice much difference with solid mounts on mine. Although I had lots of rattles before. I have sorted most of those out. But, I used to own an old Wheel Horse, and my 1200 certainly doesn't vibrate any more, and I don't think it's any worse than any other old tractor with a big single cylinder engine.

They didn't use iso-mounts before the QL, and those machines seemed to do alright.

As for cost, if you plan on getting "official" Cub Cadet mounts, solid is cheaper. Even used ones run a pretty penny.

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.
