John2189 450 #9 Posted May 13 What is the reasoning for the solid mounts? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fordiesel69 263 #10 Posted May 13 The rubber dry rots, or it gets soft from oil, and then the engine hops around like a pregnant rabbit. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ri702bill 8,316 #11 Posted May 13 John - my C81 is 45 years old, the rubber isloator portion of all 4 mounts was badly deteriorated, That allowed a lot of engine shake and the engine would visibly shift with the PTO engaged. Not anymore... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joe I like that set up big washer in the center 3/8” bolt tap it in to the plate. I have some flat rubber 1/4” think might help with vibration? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ri702bill 8,316 #13 Posted May 13 Hmmm... the idea is to go Solid - no rubber. (It works....) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
