js5020 111 #1 Posted December 8, 2016 Most of the WHs I have seen, including my 16 auto have the mounting location at the rear axle. Many other brands locate the mount to the front of the machine. I guess the question I have is there a functional advantage of one over the other? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
obone 142 #2 Posted December 8, 2016 The transmission mount is the strongest. Plus it allows you to raise and lower it from the middle. The leverage is better. IE Makes it easier to lift. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
