Quiet Line not so Quiet?
Now that I have my first QL running good (my 1650) and never having had any experience with the QLs, I'm thinking it's really no "quieter" than my 108 or 149. In fact, there is more sheet metal rattling than the other two. I think it's the muffler shroud (and I have all the screws in it) and the hood latch. The hood on the QL doesn't latch like the other two tractors.
What, if anything, are you guys doing to reduce the noise from these? There seems to be more high frequency noise than the others, which mostly just have exhaust noise, not so much sheet metal rattling noise. Or is it just that this is a 16 hp vs the 10 or 12 in the other two?

Well,
I reduced the shaking and noise by selling them.....Not a fan of the QL series.. I do like the body shape and tins but the engine mounting design is something to be desired.... Always wanted to do a re-power with a Command in one....Solid mounts...Not worried about the originality of the side tins as they probably need to be massaged a bit.

The 1250, I used to own wasn't quiet either. It was louder than my 100. A good tractor overall though.

Ive tought about using a 149 frame when i redo my 1650 so i can solid mount the motor. Idc what people sqy about solid mounts, but my 149s and 169 are solid mounted qnd i dont believe they shake so thats what my plan is. I would just get rid of the 1650 but i like the looks and 16 horse muscle

The nature of the beast. My 1650 runs good, but will rattle your brains out. And it isn't quiet about doing it either.

check your upper grill screen where the lights are. sometimes that thing makes one heck of a racket and makes it sound like everything is rattling. on my girlfriends stepdads 1200 i put rubber washers and electrical tape around the edge of that screen and the rattling went away. actually very quiet machines when everything is secure. its getting them secure that is the issue.

What about removing the sheet metal from around the muffler, and putting a better latch on the hood? With some rubber bumpers of some sort... I'll check the headlight grill.

I plan on both of those when I get around to it. Gotta help, can't hurt.

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.
