Cub 147 W/ K321 motor mounts?

[LBMAN]

While I was reordering piston W/ rings , {cause they don't sell just the rings in 40 over piston} I told Kevin Wilson, parts guy, about taking out balancing gears. He stated I would need to use the rubber mounts.
OK where do I find these? well he does not know. so Does anyone here know where to get motor mounts for a Cub 147 W K321 motor? or how to fab some up.
there does not look like this ever had rubber mounts ,but I appear to know little to Nothing about these old tractors, but learning, "School of Hard Knocks".
as John Wayne stated.. Life is Tough! but it's even tougher when your stupid"
anyway If Anyone could shed some light on this I would appreciate it.
thanks in advance

You do not need rubber mounts, nor can you put them on a 147. If your talking to Kevin from Ohio that sells on eBay, he's a nice guy, but he's just a parts man not an engine builder. You don't need to do anything special to remove those gears. I've told you this already in another thread you started.

As Jon said you don't have to do anything special to pull those gears out. You couldn't ad rubber mounts even if you wanted to as it will raise the engine and throw off the driveshaft alignment.

The gentleman you are speaking to may be confusing your model with the Quietline series of tractors, which did have rubber mounts.

So true it hurts. Ya ask these guys for a wiper blade and they want to know if it's four wheel drive.

I took a head stud in to a place and said I need another one. They wanted to know what it came off of. I said it's not relevant look in your Doorman drawers and you should find something close.

I've said that a million times. Or "you won't find it in your computer". Say that one a lot too.

Thanks guys.
I realize I have been told to just take out the gears, It's a done deal. out they came. I feel better they are out too. they do kind of look like grenades!
sometime I appear to miss stuff, I need to confirm what I hear or read, No Misinterpretations. So thanks for your info. saved my motor.
yup Kevin is a nice guy, but by the book,
I screwed up the ring. will be using a difference device to "TAP" the new piston in this time...geez painfull as it is, It will be forgotten about when it's running.
He doesn't sell gaskets by themselves, just kits, except the head gasket . so I'm going to get some gasket mat'l and make my own pan gasket. I found a local lawn mower shop who can order factory stuff out of Oregon. maybe call them.
I need to change the HY Tran fluid so I need a gasket for that. I dumped in a gal of auto trans fluid just to see if it would go and to dilute the burned smelling stuff in the transaxle. I have a filter already. worked on the steering it is Way better now. needs new tie rod ends' , all of them,
thanks again

On the rear trans I just use sillycone. Most parts stores can get Primeline or Stens parts. I keep a lot of single gaskets on the shelf for the K series and I just buy from my local O'Reillys. (I don't think you guys in Washington have O'Reilly's though do you....?) Napa is a Stens dealer. Just ask at your local parts store. On the tie rods, get heim joints from McMaster Carr. Last longer, and made better. Even if you don't want a heim joint McMaster sells the tie rod ends. Holler if you need help finding them on the site.
