ISO Mounts
Tonight I replaced the ISO mounts on a 1650 that was supposed to be a parts tractor for my 129. My plans changed a bit so I'm fixing both up. Anyways I used the TRW equivalent to the moog bushings. (They were 4.99 vs 8.99 for the moog)
The stock lower bushings were completely gone. The uppers were in bad shape as well so I used the TRW for uppers and lowers. Uncompressed they are a bit taller than the stock setup so I had to use a little longer bolts. I snugged it up so two threads were showing and started it up. The thing vibrated like crazy, but the engine was no longer hopping around so I took it out in the yard for 10 minutes. After about 5 minutes it smoothed out a bit, but it is still pretty bad. Tomorrow I'm going to try tightening the mounts down a bit more to see what happens. I guess while researching I noticed people said the moog type mounts shook pretty good. I guess I attributed that to an oversensitive operator. After trying them out for myself, I now know that it's not a sensitivity issue. I'll run them for a while to see if they break in and settle down a bit. The test drive produced one casualty. One of the hydro fan blades broke off. After the fact I noticed they had a cotter pin on some adjacent linkage that seemed a bit long and if turned right could touch the fan. I'll take a closer look at that tomorrow.

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.
