1966 122 engine mounting
 

Hi everyone this is my first post here along with my first IH tractor !! It's an 1966 122 and I love it so far. Well here's what has been going on, I had to replace the throw out bearing so I did the clutch and springs also. I went to put the Kohler back on tonight and for the life of me I can't remember and figure out if there is any spacers between the engine block and the frame or does it sit right on the frame? I tried searching and going on parts tree but can't figure it out. Thanks in advance for the help! -Pat.

Here is some pics of her

Ok well first post didn't go so well with the picture :bigthink::bigthink:

No spacers, sits right on the frame. Nice 122. More pics please, and welcome

As a former owner of a 122, I agree with Alvy. NO spacers, it bolts directly to the frame.

Welcome to you and your 122.:beerchug: Great first Cub Cadet...
For the future. While your wrenching on something new, that you are not familiar with, it's a good idea to take pictures as you're disassembling the tractor. And KEEP all the parts together, so you know if everything is put back together correctly, or not if you have things left over.:bigthink:

Wow nice quick responses !! :buttrock:
Thanks guys. I'll grab some more pics soon when it's done. And I just picked up a snow plow last week for cheap, so now the decision is plow or the snow on the 122 for the season

The funny thing about this is that I'm a crane mechanic for a living so I take a ridiculous amount of pictures at work and very meticulous because of the risk involved. But when I get home I don't what happends but all of that goes out the window and I rip stuff apart :HeadScratch:

I work on cars, but I'm guilty on the Cubs as well! Its hard to stop and take pics when you are having fun! Welcome to OCC!:beerchug:

When you put it back together, there is just a little movement in the bolts. Get the motor in and move it around a little till you can feel the driveshaft turning freely.

Now is also the time to straighten the front of the frame out if your steering wheel is really close or touching the hood when the hood raises. The front of the frame gets bent up just slightly from people bumping into things and pushes the hood back towards the steering wheel.
