It's a single-cylinder engine; it vibrates. I've never had a problem with the OEM fiber buttons, but a lot of people use the bronze ones.

You haven't really given us much to work with here...

It could be anything from misaligned engine, loose engine mounting bolts, broken frame, bad/worn drive shaft, rag joint, drive hub, transmission coupling, engine out of time, carb out of adjustment, basically anything that moves or goes round and round can cause a vibration.

If it were mine and I didn't know where a vibration was coming from, I would first make sure the engine was bolted down tight, if it is, I would then remove the drive shaft to determine if it's coming from the front or the back.

Either button is fine... Finding out why the button is worn out might just be the answer to the vibration problem.

The button fell out and I can't find it. THe engine is tight. The carb is adjusted correctly and it is in time. The frame isn't broken. Thanks for the ideas I'll go check now.

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.
