Cast Iron parts
I just bought a Cast Iron lower grille housing, I think this might help pushing the 54" blade around a bit. It was kind of hard to find. I've been looking for a while. Seems most sellers want 25 to 30 dollars for the part and 40 to 60 to ship it. I finally found one with free shipping for 40 bucks. I guess that means I paid 10 or 15 to ship it. That being said, the only aluminum I have now is the upper nose grill which I believe did not come in cast iron on the QL's.

The cast grill should help quite a bit. The aluminum grill QLs are light in the front. The upper grill castings were all aluminum, even on the 1x8-1x9 series.

Awesome, let us know how it works out for you!
 I'm personally curious because next year, my 1450 will be on blade duty and it's got a cast iron front grill.

Hmmmmm...
When we finally thaw out, I'm gonna check those parts with a magnet. My 800 has a broken upper nose, wondering if it was iron v. Aluminum.

The upper nose should be aluminum. Out of all the q uietlines I've had all have been aluminum upper most of the ones I've had were cast iron lower. Currently my 1000 is cast iron lower. 1200 is aluminum lower and my 1450 I THINK is a cast iron I would have too look at it to be sure

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.
