I may need to make some adjustments to my grill in order to properly position the hood with respect to the dash, and I know I need to do some fiberglass work on the dashes to tighen fhings up.
I do prefer to use my hold downs. In case you weren't aware of it, you can do a bit of adjustment up and down on the fiberglass housing mount to help create the right fit. Also there should be I think 4 rubber strips that mount to the steel frame the hood sits down on. These are factory and should help reduce vibrations. Some people also use seat cover edging "identical to what holds your factory seat cover to the shell" on the lip of the hood to help with vibrations.

When I rebuilt my 149, I really hated the way the hood mounted, the PTO side latch would interfer/ get tangled up in the PTO handle/ mounting plate. I replaced my hood with one from a 1450 quiet line. It is exactly the same hood, just have to get the latch from the dash tower as well, seems to be a lot better idea for holding the hood closed in my eyes....no silly interferring latches to mess with!

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.
