Armrest Mounts?

Just got an armrest kit for this ZT 1 and after pulling the two seat flaps tucked into the back of the seat, watching a video from 2020 and having a good look
around. I can't find a mounting plate on either side. Did Cub stop putting them on the seats in 2022?

Are these the rests you purchased? If so you are correct as there is no mounting plates on the newer units.

Yes! Oh, that's just too special. Unfortunately it's the weekend and it will have to wait until Monday. Will keep you posted on customer service. Thanks. What a pain

Well..... after 2 full hours on hold and when you do get a human, you go back on hold.
They don't help, they have to check for 1/2 an hour!?! Suddenly, you're back on the computer generated prompter and start the whole thing over again!
Very disappointed. Oh yeah, and they have Muzak that drives you absolutely postal. On purpose, I'm sure.
Will try Seat King tomorrow. They built the thing, maybe they have the brackets or a new seat?

Yeah! Called Seat King, the people who made the seat on my mower and they are sending me an armrest kit for their seat, $75. The other kit is made for Seat Incorporated seats, which I
did not have on my mower. You'd think MTD would know this little tidbit of information. Nope. Anyway, for anyone with this problem there is your solution. Good Luck! DB

Remember MTD now builds units for Cub Cadet. Answers a lot of questions.

Anyone know what the trick is to removing the shroud on a Kawasaki FR691V. All the bolts are removed. It wiggles but won't come off?!? What's up?

Did you remove the debris screen screws and debris screen?

NO. It has plastic fasteners and I don't have any replacements. Is there some clips under the plastic fan shroud cover?

Those plastic fasteners [92039] are supposed to removable and usable. Just pry up the center pin to release them. Under that plastic cover is a metal rotating screen [14037] that prevents the shroud from coming off. It is actually a little larger then the fan hole in the shroud. Three screws [92151] that requires either a hex bit or a torx bit depending the engine age is what hold this screen on. May have to smack them to get them to loosen.

Thanks. I researched the push rivets last night and problem solved. What a terrible design with the fan screen oversized to hold down the shroud
and keep it from being removed. The manual, of course, doesn't mention this very important step.
Thanks for following up! Best DB

Fan screen is oversized to help prevent sucking in debris...

Not every seat can be fitted with armrests and MTD own the Cub Cadet brand.

MTD purchased the Cub Cadet line from International Harvester Co. in 1981. Before 1981 Cub Cadet was a very solid built, reliable product. After 1981, they just became another generic rider mower with yellow paint and stickers slapped on them.

Got it. Thanks! It took me a while to research those 3 plastic rivets, but once I had a visual of the design. I got it. Pass it on.
Very frustrating ordeal............ DB

You can get those plastic rivets online or auto parts stores.
Most modern cans are using them in inner fender well, and other places. So you can pick some up cheap.
