Default Best price on Quietline mounts?
Finally have some time to get into both of my 1450s, and they both need motor mounts (of course).

Been looking around the internet, and it looks like it is pretty common to find the new style OEM mounts for ~ $20 a corner.

Just wanted to check in and see if anyone has a source for a little better price (yeah, I am cheap).

Don't want to play roulette with the moog mounts, as I really hate doing something more than once (probably one of top 5 pet peeves).

Thanks in advance

You could save a little money by using all of your top mounts from both tractors on one tractor. Then get a new set for the other

Thanks David for the tip!

I have pulled the engine, cradle & mounts out of one 1450, and the top ones don't really seem to get worked at all, while the bottoms are pancakes...

Didn't know the original mounts were the same top & bottom (mine were so mangled you couldn't really compare).

I have seem the pics of the "new" mounts, and those don't seem the same top & bottom. Correct?

Yeah the old ones can go on top or bottom. I used my top set and four more from another tractor last year when i did my mounts on my 1200. The new ones are shaped different. I dont think you can swap them top to bottom.

The bottom and tops are not the same.

Don't forget to do the ISO Mount update. Weld the cross brace and your mounts will last a lot longer and you will not damage your mounting bolts int he pan...hopefully they are not already damaged.

I just did my second one in a week!!



I think that little bar is the most valuable upgrade you can do to a QL!!

When I unbolted the engine before I loosened the ISO mounts, the 2 bars just flopped down away from the engine!!

Who knows what kind of stress is on those 4 bolts holding the engine!!

I have had the very same question lately, as I am about to bring a new used Cub Cadet 1250. I am new to the Cub Cadet world too, and would rather PLAY with the Cub Cadet than work on it. That being said, it looks like CC Specialties has a set of motor mounts that have worked well for others without the cost of the OEM part. I have surfed the net as well, looking for the answer, and this is the best price I have found.

I live in Minnesota, too. Now I want a 104, or similar gear drive machine. I am enjoying not taking my medication.

I wasn't happy with the MOOG mounts. Went out paid for the cc ISO mounts and wasted time and $ on the MOOG mounts. I spent $25 more then the cc ISO mounts and twice the time and work.

Time will tell, but,I went with the MOOG K5342 mounts for my 1000

It cost $10 for the 2 boxes at O'Rielly's.

The engine is in very nicely.

The mounts are polyurethane which should resist oil better.

These tractors are old, they are gonna leak oil, they need something more oil resistant than rubber.

If I had a brand new K301 going in a tractor, I would consider Cub Cadet mounts, otherwise, I need a longer life material.

If Cub Cadet gives me tha same material that was in the 1974 tractor, I would expect to get 2 years live out of them.

We each get our opinion, mine is MOOG.

IH did not do everything perfect, or I would not have had to deal with this.

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.
