They are supposed to be shimmed (+/-) to provide .06-.12 clearance between them and the frame.

I'd toss the rubber mounts and go with solid mounts. I hate the rubber mount system. Cub didn't do it right, and it's more trouble than it's worth.

I'm actually going to buy rubber new ones from cub. The 14 hp vibrates too much, puts my legs to sleep

120 bucks, but it should make a better machine

Couple years ago someone sent me a set of the hard rubber mounts for me to try.
I left them in about 10 minutes and took them back out and replaced them w/a set of new OEM mounts
Still smooth as silk to this day.

Just as a statement, not as a start to a debate:

I wonder why it is no one complains about the vibration of a 147, 149, or a 169.... but put solid mounts on a QL, and there seems to be a debate about how much it vibrates. It can't be any different than the other 3 models I listed. Now, I've driven and used QL machines with wore out mounts, and I thought it was horrible. I've driven a 169.... I didn't think it was all that bad. I have and use a 1050, which has a different rubber mount system, and it seems fine. The mount is rubber, but I have ran it with the hood off and watched the engine. It doesn't move around like the QL motor does. Again.... not trying to spark a debate, but does anyone have a 149 and a 1450, or a 169 and a 1650 that can give a real comparison? I don't know that I will ever be convinced that the rubber mounts are worth the cost until I can ride two QL's, one mounted solid and the other on $120 rubber. Anyone want to play Mythbusters?

I have a 128 and a 1211 with solid mounts in it, the vibration is almost identical but the 1211 has alot more sheet metal than the 128 so the vibration causes a lot more noise. I spent a pretty good amount of time on the front sheet metal to eliminate the noise and have no issue with the amount of vibration it has.

I currently own a 149 and and last summer I picked up two 1200's, both with destroyed rubber mounts and clutches. On both 1200's I did the cradle mods and went with solid mounts from Jeff. I saw no difference's in either one from my 149 and I was happy with both, kept one, sold one. Panty waists all have to have something to complain about. If vibration bothers them, maybe they should let the wife cut the grass, she may never want to get off the thing.

This is what I done with my 1450. About the only member here who is no longer with us, Myron Bounds, recommended genuine replacement parts. I read that post long ago and believed in it. A lot of hot heads around here seem to leave out critical facts for th mount system failures. Cub Cadet continued to use the system well into the second and third generation of CCC garden tractors. The know it all around here also file in line with the belief that the aluminum trans cases were so much stronger in than the cast iron trans cases. Besides who the hell has the time to bitch about a 120 freaking bucks. Must be folks who do nothing with their tractors . See I don’t bash steel mounts at all. There was reason for it back when IH made the change to begin with. Always got one up on the guys who recommend genuine parts. So my suggestion to them is to go find a knot hole in a fence post.

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.
