Default Amount of "squish" on QL ISO mounts?

Just bolted in a new set of iso mounts on my 1450, and was rather surprised by the amount they "squish" to get to the 20 ft-lb torque value.

When the nut was tightened down, I have ~ 3/8" exposed threads on the stock 2 1/4" bolt.

Sound about right?

Just want to make sure my torque wrench hasn't decided to flake out on me.

I would trust the torque wrench.

The guide.

Yep, that was what I was following.

Just was in awe how much they are compressed, that's all.

Seeing as I have never seen a properly installed ISO mount which wasn't mashed like a roadkill opossum...

I would not trust the torque wrench, or that guide. Those look like the instructions that come with the mounts, which should be ignored. 20 ft-lbs is absurd...that's approaching the head bolt torque on a K161...

Using the original length bolts and new nylock nuts, tighten the nuts such that 1-2 threads shows through each nut, and no more.

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.
