Ok, that's fine. I'm probably going to attempt to figure out where they go on my own, and I'll use your numbers as a sanity check. Thanks!

I nearly have the engine mounted in the 682. I put two crossbraces between the QL engine mounting rails, and then bolted the 1282 risers to the K321 and set that into the tractor so I could figure out where to drill the holes in the QL cradle to mount the risers.



As you can see, there's plenty of room. This should be pretty easy to work on, even with the loader attached. I can even access both bottom flywheel shroud bolts if I should need to for some reason. I then quickly splattered some black spray paint on the cradle to protect the welds.


Tomorrow I'll bolt it all together and measure for the driveshaft. The 682 one is WAY too short. Now that the tractor is close to operational, I feel like I'm finally making some progress.

Great progress Matt!

The k301 I swapped in my 682 is a few inches closer to the firewall...if that means anything? I used a 82 series ISO cradle, so I didn't have to worry about lining up or making any new holes.

Yeah, this looks plenty close to the front, but it'll be just fine for my purposes. I used the 1282 risers but also used the QL iso-mount rails. I think it's sorta far forward too, but the PTO clutch still clears the front, as does the muffler box, etc.

Hey everybody that has a CC w/ loader (Kwik-Way, in particular)...do the front wheels on your tractor clear the lift cylinders with the wheels in any position left to right and with the axle tilted all the way to either side with the bucket all the way down? I don't think there's any way I can get the front wheels to clear all of the time...

Got the new mounts welded to the loader uprights.


I put the subframe on the tractor and started sliding the 2x3 tube back and forth on the subframe to find the ideal location for it. I still don't have it there yet. It needs to go further forward. Tomorrow I need to start figuring out the pump mount and forward brace. Once everything's located, the subframe can be finish-welded and painted, and then I just have to come up with a tank for the hydraulic fluid and rebuild my spare set of cylinders. I did put the engine mount cradle in today, but I didn't put the engine in, since it's so much easier to work when the engine isn't installed.


I decided to use the MOOG K5252 (or more specifically, the AutoZone part that it crosses to) sway bar kit for the upper mounts, and 4 good original ISO-mounts on the bottom. Hopefully that'll last until I can buy the real thing.

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.
