I would think it would be best to address the vibration issue first.

I guess I overlook the obvious sometimes in answering someone's question. |

I bought a 1450 years ago that had a broken hood extension/headlight housing, whatever you want to call it It got broken when the previous owner backed it out of his truck and the ramp broke and flipped the tractor.
I drilled/tapped the two broken halves and bolted them back together. Veed the crack out and smoothed it up with JB Weld. Sanded the repair smooth and painted it. I don't know what it looks like now but I had the tractor for another ten years or so after the repair and it was holding fine. |

You answered his question? I agree with twoton here. If vibration is such that it is breaking the nose.... then fix the issue instead of putting a band aid on it and ruining another part. Obvious solution and logic are obvious and logical...... when you use them they keep me/us from |

J-Mech, do you have a problem?
Here's his question from post #1 ....." Is there an alternative for replacement or should I just find another used one or......?". Your answer to him in post #3 is "you either need glasses so as not to hit things, or you are drinking while mowing your grass". My answer in post #10 was to inform him, as did dale C. in post #2, that there are alternative parts available. Again, what is YOUR problem? |

I saw your reply as an explanation of Dale's comment...... not really an answer to his issue.
The answer to his issue is, figure out why it keeps breaking. The OP's post is the only instance I've ever heard of the nose breaking that didn't involve running into things, hauling the tractor backwards and the hood blowing open, dropping something on it, or just any other all around abuse. There has to be good reason as to why he has broken now 2 parts. |

In my original post I mentioned the vibration being suspect of why the part broke because of the K321 vibration that I have come to believe is unmanageable. I have been trying to calm the vibration on this tractor ever since I got it. I have patched the engine tins, muffler, air baffle etc. that have broken due to vibration. I have done the engine cradle modification and installed solid mounts from Jeff and eliminated the drive line from the equation and have come to believe the K321 just vibrates. And as to the Quite Line, not so much.

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.
