NAPA ISO MOUNTS for 1250???
While my motor is out waiting on the stator, I did get the cradle mount mod done. Now for the bad news, all of the rubber ISO mounts were shot, none worth holding onto. I picked up a bushing kit at NAPA, well it is the kit that has replaced the Moog kit. My question is, I will obviously have to use all 8 of the new bushings, top and bottom, to mount the engine cradle back to the frame. I am wondering if I should just go with solid mounts, or stay with the rubber bushings? Also I am wondering how much of a difference there is in vibrations using these and lets say the solid mounted motors on earlier cubs? If it is pretty much the same, I never thought the vibrations were that bad. My other concern is how much of a problem does that vibrating motor moving around create for the drive shaft? Or, do the rag joints help absorb this kind of abuse? Thanks for any input, it's Sunday and am sitting here doing my day off of work thinking
 . I have found when I think I end up having to do more work LOL.

The MOOG mounts are not iso-mount replacements, but are sway bar bushings for most full-size GM cars and are rock hard. If you want it to be smooth, get the OEM iso mount kits and tighten them such that one thread shows on each bolt. They are spendy, but worth it. If you're going through all the work and plan on using the tractor, do it right. Solid-mounting it won't be as nice.
I'm putting the MOOG mounts in my 682 for now because I'm short on $$$ and my loader tractor will rarely run at full throttle, which is where the OEM mounts really shine.

I appreciate your input Matt.. I finally found some archive information on the mounts and issues I was asking about, and I see the theme is to go OEM if possible for a much smoother feel. I am like most everyone else if not more strapped for $$$, but with it this far down and easy to work on, I may just order the OEM's next month and install them. Oh, as far as these bushings go, they are not anywhere near rock hard, they have some really good flex properties to them. Not sure if this makes a difference or not.
Thanks for the advice.

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.
