Kohler twin, engine mounting
Been doing some work on my 784 and this has always had my head scratching..
 The engine is mounted to a base plate with 4 of these spacers (950-3009) They seem to "dig" into the base plate and/or the engine foot. The dimensions of these spaces are: ID: .423" (for a 3/8" bolt) OD: .675" Height: .469"  I was toying with the idea of just putting (2) - 1/2" piece of flat stock (either steel or aluminum) and drill the appropriate holes on each end. Height: .50" Width: 1.50" Length: 9.00" I think these would give greater support.  The question I have is, there will be a difference of .31" in the engine mount height. Is this going to be a major concern...??? Or should I go 3/8"...??

I don't really know, seems the only issue would be at the driveshaft. The difference should be .031" not .31" as stated which is closer than 3/8" would be. I can't believe the driveshaft alignment is that critical.
I think you would be fine.

Well, Cub Cadet wants $9.00 each for those spacers = $36.00
I bought two pieces of flat stock for $2.00. Four holes and a little paint, and some left over for a brewski or two.

I honestly had not thought of doing this. Next time the motor is out of the 1811, I believe I will! Never liked those small spacers either..... Just left a lot of stress on the motor flanges! Great idea!!

Well, here is the finished product. I bought 3/8" (.375") flat stock. Measured and drilled holes for the 3/8-16 bolts.
I decided to use 3/8" x 1-1/2" fender washers to add to the height. The washers are .055" thick. I'll be .039" too low with one washer or .016" too high with two washers. I am thinking this will offer far superior support.

I'd go with the 2 washers but I doubt that you would ever have a problem with 1 washer. Just my 2 cents but I would have used the 1/2" you were thinking about earlier.

Not to bring up a super old thread, but how has this worked out Roland?
I have an engine to mount and only 2 spacers to mount it with. Considering going this route instead of picking up more spacers (or making some).

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.
