I have a Cub Cadet 1450, and it needs new Rubber ISO mounts (engine mounts).
I did a lot of research on what I should do about the mounts- On one hand, Cub Cadet still does make the mounts. On another hand, there is a guy that makes steel mounts that replaces the rubber mounts.
I do understand that using steel mounts would not reduce the original vibration on the quietline series. But, steel does not wear out like the rubber ones do.
So, my question is, does the rubber really dampen the vibrations that much? Or would it just be better to put on steel mounts instead?
I am aware of the rail modification, and I am going to do that, either way if I use rubber or steel.
