Had a vibration problem....see what it was
Hello all,
It's been a while since I participated because of work and family. For the past several months, my 1450 would shake at start up(violently) and shake while mowing the yard. So I dug into it to investigat and low and behold there were some engine mount bolts missing from the isolater mounts...not the isolater bushings them selves but the engine oil pan bolts. Started disassembly   Undid the driveshaft and the engine lifted right out! There were no harware securing the engine to the frame!  As you can see the isolater mounts were well intact(they had new busings)  There was one bolt that broke off into the engine but it came out easily(thankfully)   Notice I wear gloves..ain't I a sissy! LOL! Take care!

Thats a perfect example of why the engine rail mod is so critical. You could have ruined your oil pan, driveshaft and flex joints too. Good thing you pulled it when you did.

I did the cross rail mod and new ISO bushings a few years back. Earlier this summer after mowing I lifted the hood to watch as I idled the engine down and saw it shaking around. Shut it off and found only 1 bolt holding the engine to the rails. I replaced them all with loctite this time. I don't remember if I did that when I did the mod.

loctite
You use the blue or red loctite,blue is easier to remove is why I asked,with all the vibration was wondering if red would be better?

If you do decide to use Red (permanent bad stuff) you need to use heat to break it loose with if ever need be. I think blue would be just fine in this situation, however clean the bolt good, and the threaded hole, I use a small brass brush on a drill to clean out threaded holes, then use some alcohol on a q-tip to clean threaded hole, clean the bolt with alcohol as well, this will give maximum effectiveness for locktite type chemicals.
Hope this helps for future breaking loose of any bolts/screws etc... The red is bad stuff

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.
