Man that hood vibrates!
So now that I finally have my 108 running I find no better way to relax after a long day but to do a few victory laps around the property
 Always fun to be known as "that crazy tractor neighbor" HAHAHAHA! Anyway, when I throttle her up the thing (manly the hood) vibrates like crazy! I have to get that nice trim work that goes on the section of the hood that lays on top the dash. Is this normal? I'm checking the engine mounting bolts and they all seem tight. Nothing seems to be wiggling all over the place. My 127 has these clips that hold the hood down and my 73 seems to have these little widgets (I have no idea what to call them) that the hood locks onto to stay down. The 108 just has this little spring type thing that really does not pull the hood down but more locks it from opening up. So the big questions would be, is this normal to have the hood vibrate so much and can I do something to lock it down? Right now without the trim work it's really loud when it rattles.

Under the hood on the dash there should be a piece that held on by 2 bolts, it should be adjusted up enough that the hood is resting on it and not the dash. I also put black door edge guard on the piece which makes the hood fit snug and eliminates 99% vibration your hearing.

Here's a pic. If the hoods resting on this and the hold downs are tight you should be pretty good.

Not sure I understand your question. The rubber your seeing in the pic is the door edge guard, you can get it at any parts store.

You got a single cylinder Kohler. Those things make any cub shake rattle and roll. Hope you can get it tightened down.

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.
