Just curious what was involved in putting a cast iron transmission in my 1050. Knowing that this is the weak link, would like to be prepared if necessary. When I receive my OEM mounts, I'll take a good look an post what I see as differences between my 1250 mounts. Would like to see an 1282 front snubber mount

The 1282 is the same as a 1250. Putting a cast rear in the 1050 is simple. Bolt it in. May have to shorten the driveshaft some.

Wanted to post that I did get my 8 motor mounts in the mail today. Can't wait to put them in and see how the engine sits. Hopefully it will be at the same angle as the driveshaft. Had to order the front snubbers from a different place since absolutely nobody could find them. What is the proper torque spec for the motor mounts?:bigthink:

Still waiting on the front engine snubber grommets to come in. Yesterday I did a ton ow work on the 1050 with some promising progress. Since I bought this tractor broken, I have no experience with the condition on anything.
When I picked it up, there was a parts pail with the clutch, driveshaft, pin driver, etc in it and a pile of bolts. It is like putting an erector set together with no instruction manual. Also it is my first gear drive to work on!
The motor is securely in place with the new motor mounts, the complete clutch/driveshaft is completely installed and ready to go- I think. The problem I am having after installing all the stuff is that the clutch seems to slip. Is this normal for a new clutch and pressure plate etc? It did get better after a little use and adjusting the nut on the rod to its fully out position. I am completely at the end of the rod with only half of the nut screwed on the adjusting rod. It almost seems that the rod is too short. When I tighten the nut it gets less holding power on the clutch like it is pressing back the spring on the driveshaft. Has anyone had this problem? Seems to work well with the nut almost off the rod. Is there a longer rod available? Any suggestions?
Overall, I am happy with the 1050. Just got lucky that the rest of the tractor is good. The Kohler runs good with no noises.
