yeah it is weird that (some) QL's with solid mounts shake so much, since there are so many tractors out there (including other Cubs) with solidly mounted Kohlers that don't shake. My 129 doesn't shake, and it is a solid mount/ the 1200 that I overhauled the engine on does a little, not bad.... but the previous 1200 that I attempted to run solid mounts on was so bad I couldn't stand it... and I put everything new on that one too... shaft and all clutch components... so I wound up redoing it with new rubber mounts... BUT back then I did not know about the cradle mod, which I did on the more recent 1200 that coincidentally got the same set of solids put onto it that had been attempted to put onto the 1st 1200...

Well.... you did the solid conversion wrong.
No way it's just engine vibration that hurts your feet. ALL the Cub Cadets prior to that series had solid mounted engines, and foot rests were all metal. No vibration to complain about with the older ones. If your engine does vibrate that much, there is something wrong with it. Deltacub covered most of the errors you made..... if you want to fix it, you should listen to us on what to do. Otherwise, you are wasting your time and money, and our time. |

Your center of flange hole to the end of shaft is 1/8" shorter than mine, so that is the difference. I guess that will be a good starting point. Something still doesnt seem right, I dont think 1/8" off mine is going to make a difference since there 3/8" between the flange and flex disc. |

I just did two 1200's this summer, went with Jeff's solid mounts, new solid 3 pin drivers, new discs, doubled the flex couplers in at the tranny, and my only problem was some clutch drag until they got broken in. When used, vibration to me was no worse to me than other non-ql's I have and I found them to be just fine to work with. I'm thinkin' you have quite a bit of time and money into this and just have to refine your results and will not be quite as disappointed once you find the sweet spot. Keep digging! |

CUBRAT, the old drives shaft that I was referencing also has a concave area at the end of the shaft where the 5/8" centering ball rides which will further reduce that 19 1/16" length. I don't know if that is an original to the shaft or just a function of wear from contact with the centering ball?...

He hasn't answered my question whether he used a solid 3-pin drive plate or a flex 3-pin drive plate. With a solid driver the drive shaft slides directly into the bushing in the center of the drive plate and you don't need no gosh dang balls.

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.
