People give the quietlines a bad rap but they made 6 models and they were made for the most years out of the rest of the IH built garden tractors so alot of people liked the looks of them! My 0.02!

I have NEVER understood the QL bashing!

People say they like looks of the 1X8/1X9 series and the X82 series, but don't like the QLs...........

The nose of the WF compared to the QL is different by way of a divider between the headlights.....and of course the engine sidecovers that people complain about. WFs have flex coupler in the driveline (as does an Original) but nobody complains about them....

The X82s don't divide the grill from the lights, otherwise the fronts are not that much different than a QL....and they have sidecovers and flex couplings on both ends of the driveshaft like a QL, yet nobody complains about them on an X82.

I've never heard one complaint about the ISO mounts on a 1282, etc.

Virtually all generators all use ISO mounts, but I don't remember anybody complaining about them.

My 1450 has absolutely NO problem with a 50A/C deck, a QA42A snowthrower, a #2 tiller, and a 12" Brinly plow.

I have seen first hand at a Plowday event, a JD 420 struggle (jumping over the furrow, getting hung up, etc) with a 12" Cat O plow, while my 1450 had no problems with my sleeve hitch mounted 12" Brinly.

My QL 1450 -VS- a Lawn Fawn= NO comparison!

I have no issues with QL's or Deere's. I like some of both, deal with it.

Their rubber mounting system for the engine is very good, putting the mounts @ the crankshaft centerline.
it makes for less vibration.
I wished cub would of done that.
Well it looks like the JD system has its flaws.ISO's didn't seem to work here...

Those ISO mounts were asked to do a tough job....hold up a cast iron Kohler engine for many years/hours.

The ISO mounts in that Dear John are shot!

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.
