Crooked
Hey all! I just bought a 1450 and looks like maintenance was not on the list of things to do to it. So I'm going over it and trying to gey it back to good running health. I had to order a air duct box for it and noticed looking from the front of it the motor looks lopsided. It leans down to the left and I don't know if this is normal? And I did notice the motor has been rubbing the frame on the left side. I ordered new motor mounts, so is this a adjustment thing I can fix when installing new mounts? Thanks for any feedback

Mounts are probably the whole problem. Check the threads in the oil pan. Do a cradle modification.

I would recommend you also check the driveshaft and replace any worn parts while you have the engine out.

Welcome to OCC,
Do heed the advise given. Many Many posts here on mounts, stripped oil pan bolts, cradle modifications and which mounts to buy. Take your time and read before you leap into unknown to you, waters. We here have walked the path before you. When done it will last another 40 + years because it will be better than new. We would rather have you ask "stupid questions" ( no such thing) than have to tell you how to fix an avoidable problem.

You will also likely have severe wear on the axle housing from the pan rubbing.]If you are lucky the pan will be cast iron.
If it is aluminum, inspect closely for worn mounting bosses and stripped threads where it mounts/bolts to the cradle. Would be a good time to replace it with a cast iron piece. If one or more of the bosses are badly worn, the engine will not sit square in the cradle. I suppose one could machine them all the same height and install shims to bring it back into alignment. Good luck

Well I found the problem, on the starter side of the oil pan the bolt holes are worn down so much it was making the engine lean that it was rubbing frame rail and also the frame under the motor. Sure an glad I caught this before it got any worse. I'd post a pic but I don't know how to load one up?

Quote:
are you getting a new cradle with modifications? or going to do it yourself? Because yours have to be cratered pretty bad, from the look of oil pan.

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.
