Cub 1000 Engine/Clutch Alignment?

I am having trouble with lining up my engine with my new clutch assembly. Clutch and ISO mounts were bad so I took the clutch assem. to the cub dealer for rebuild. New disc, spring, resurface and all. I took the engine out and replaced the ISO mounts with cheapie rubber auto bushings. Everything went fine, started engine, all good till time to adjust new clutch.

I back off the nut all the way to where it almost comes off the rod and still not enough pressure to engage. Clutch completely released and I can see there is still a small gap between plate and disc while it is larger gap at the bottom of the plate than the top. The rubber cradle snubbers are also off the engine cradle about 3/8" of an inch.

I just need more clutch release and get better alignment.

Help! Will raising the rear of the engine make a difference?

I don't want to take it out and reinstall again if I don't have to. I need it to mow again.

Thanks!

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.
