I agree. If the seller isnt experienced with Cub's he may be unaware that the iso mounts are bad or that the driveshaft might be toast. Just cause it runs good doesn't mean the rest of it isn't in need of repair.

Three is a good number, 40 is better though.

What?? They aren't even close to the same.
12hp/14hp
Different engine mounting systems
Different hoods and frame/ Similar seat pan
Different steering ratio
Hydraulic levers on different sides of the dash.


Way different in much more than appearance.....

Yeah.... I'm with Lew. If there is one tractor series I don't mind seeing parted out it's a QL. (Sorry Beth!) They are like the most common Cub Cadet tractor there is. You can always find a QL for sale. Plus, the '82 styled tractors are so much more comfy.

The engine mount in a 1211 is the same as a ql. My point was they have the same engine mount, same driveshaft setup and basically the same rearend. Other than looks and two extra horsepower there really isn't much difference.

I am shocked and saddened... I hate to see QuietLines parted...but I must admit I have parted out a few very unloved tractors of that series. I need a drink!

I always forget the 1211 and 1282 used that same POS engine mount that the QL tractors used. I do not understand why the 1050 was different, other than it is a much more rigid mount, and maybe they did that because it was a gear drive. I think the 1050 system is much better.

You know..... I wonder if you could use the same engine mount as a 1050 in a 800/1000/1200 QL and have better results.
Everyone always whines about the solid mount set up when converted.



I know Beth.... I know. It will be ok.

Well.. this helped solve some questions I had. Some guys have called the 1211 a QL and others have said no it's not. I kinda figured It was not but wondered why some called it one.

I don't know why Cub didn't use the 1050 style mount in all the tractors. My 1050 is the smoothest single cylinder tractor I have.
