Default Is my bracket going to be too weak?

I started on my 882 starter/glow plug upgrade but I'm concerned about a PO mod. They cut the engine bracket and I will need to drill a hole for the battery terminal but is this bracket going to be weakened too much. Should I pull it out and weld a piece back in?

I would think it would be ok, but you have to pull the bracket off anyhow to do the starter mod, so you might as well weld a piece in to make sure there are no issues. That's what I would do if it were me.

I had to order a new manifold because the old was broken and drilled the hole for the upgrade with the bracket in the tractor. I will pull the bracket and weld it up but not until I hear the engine run. My 100% new China starter came last week and I installed it yesterday, replaced the fuel lines, filters, upgraded glow plugs and washed all the grease and grime from it. I hope to have it running this week.

I finished the starter and glow plug upgrade, heated the plugs for a count to 10 and on the 2nd or 3rd rotation it fired up and runs great. I only drove it for a little because of the cracked exhaust manifold and one of my relief valves started to leak. I have a question on how the driveshaft hooks up at the motor end. Look at the picture and see where the flange and coupler bolts are hitting each other. Is something missing? I hope they didn't drill the other end out to put the bolt in at the rear coupler.

I did my glow plugs a little different then I seen others do. I ran a #4 wire to the relay and ran a #10 wire to each glow plug. I also replaced the 27 year old ground and positive cables with new.

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.
