I have a brand new quiet line in a 1450.. new iso mounts, new motor, new muffler.. and before the paint has burned off anything, the muffler box has already cracked and lost its bottom.

I don't know if it is possible to keep the box in its stock form for any length of time. Does anyone know if IH adressed this issue in any recalls or service bulletins?

I guess one could build a new box, out of heavier material.. but I bet it would crack too, or induce cracks in the aluminum piece that bolts on the motor. SOmeday I will be putting this motor in a 1250 with a new fabricated box..we will see if it works. I am seriously considering the solid mounts or hard plastic ones. I don't know if that will help or hurt the box.

Mine had stainless bolts in it....but entirely stainless sounds intriguing.

Did it use the factory aluminum piece on the Kohler??

Pics, pleeze!

Are those resistance spot welds in the last shot I see or is it all screwed together...or are they mig plug welds? Looks like it should last!

The muffler box is all bolted together with small stove bolts ...I think it will outlast me and the motor thats in the 16 ... the real nice thing about the stainless box is that it does not rattle or vibrate so you can hear the real power of the brute force k 341 working.

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.
