Default Putting the Quiet in QL
So Today I started my project..


I did not take a DB meter level prior to starting. I got a 4X4 2lb/sq ft lead sheet. I lined the side panels and used hi-temp spray adhesive. Did the driveshaft cover and cranked it up.

I'm at 78 db idle via my phone app. I believe I have enough to do either the hood or the firewall w the fuel tank.

You really think that spray adhesive is going to keep lead sheets on the side panels?

Two-sided tape holds wheel weights on, if cleaned properly. I have no idea of the material he is using tho, without pics.

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.
