assessed this today a bit fired it up and ran it around the yard . the rubber motor mounts are they available yet and where is a good place to get them?  or buy another oil pan and solid mount the engine . the kouler flops around a bit . the headlight assembly . does anyone have ideas to get the sealed beams a little tighter fit mine have some tab's broke and the are loose in the bezel rattling around . hydraulic lift cylinder works great but i have one hose leaking at the fitting on cylinder . are theses hoses and fittings a oddball  size and hard to find  ?

Hose fitting may just need an O ring. Wheel Horse Parts and More in our vender section sells new hoses...

briankd, why would you have to buy another oil pan? I solid mounted my engine years ago with out a pan swap .  you can probably find those mounts on the vendor site  or  amazon . also picked up some PREFORATED  METAL  at the local h/w store , to do over my light clips , used tin snips  to cut out heavier  similar shape , much  stronger , also used  FENDER WASHERS  at mount points  to ensure screw mount strength . pete

You can get solid replacement mounts from Zach Kerber6422B669-9B34-4D86-8B7D-A4411327D886.jpeg.3fbf9517d255b3e143d47c233851f86f.jpeg7F41006A-B0F3-4673-800E-B022822928A1.jpeg.5e6acd4bce2478506356cc7cd05a2634.jpeg

My headlights would also move around.  I put a dab of silicone caulk on the tabs were it makes contact with the headlight

Had one black hood that shook the head lights completely out!

Ended up getting some 1/2" x 1 1/2" flat bar, drilled and slid it in between where the existing mounts were then welded across the top and the side. just like new!

But those aluminum ones are sweet!

One fellow told me he purchased new mounts and the vibration went away.

The front tires are from Tractor Supply5452BA6B-D8B2-4189-AEB7-13E4A826B2F6.jpeg.219bb01fc5ab032f39a970cf046fa552.jpeg

Zach has wonderful customer service - stays in contact. Mounts are excellent quality. My mounts were much better in condition than yours but just above idle there was a resonant point that vibrated the engine fiercely. The solids took care of it and it didn't seem to transfer through the frame. Sweetness. You will not regret it.

great mine also shakes like hell . the coil mounted on shroud shakes so bad you would think it would fly off . definitely will need to get a set of them

I got a set of those mounts for the C-161 I had. Took a little patience installing them but I am glad I made the change. Mine too would shake like crazy. You can see them in the photos.

I installed the solid mounts because my engine shifted enough that I couldn’t get the drive belt to hook up. After the new mounts it grabbed great in every gear under any load. They didn’t make any difference in vibration before and after.

 My ongoing project blackhoods shook things enough that the coil ripped out and cracked the engine shroud. i booger welded curved corner sections from a Honda gas tank behind that mess and filled the areas in with JB weld. Like it never happened. .

 

 What nice examples of machines all of you have on this thread. no sense messing it up with pictures of mine.....

 

 Those engine mounts are just tractor porn, fellers.....

 I am not familiar with your model tractor, but you have that single bolt  in between the headlights. This shows the headlight mount on my Massey MF14.1013999274_10-24-208.jpg.a56ff36f3867ca39003a096754be4df4.jpg Maybe you could fashion something similar using a split rubber fuel line for the rubber grommet..

The solid replacements for the shaker mount rubber isolators are nice.  However, you can accomplish the same thing for a lot less money with 4 spacers (3/4" long) and a couple washers.  If you have a manual PTO you will need a short piece of scrap angle iron for the bottom of the PTO hoop.

 

Depending on your frame you might have to drill 2 holes in the frame.  This is a small base K-341 that i put in a Charger.

yep was thinking of something like that also because the oil pan different won't mount flat to frame .probably go with the previous solid mounts

Not familiar enough with your motor to know the thread size, but there is this.

If you go with a rubber mount, you may have to run a ground strap from your motor, to the frame.

tinkered around a bit today and the front spindles look weird to me . one of them could be bent think maybe the P. O. probably hit something left side straight it looks like the wheel straight but then the left side all goofy it is toed out . seen the left side only has a ajustable tie rod end only on the inside only . while driveing it turning the wheels look like they are tiped in on the top. is that normal for theses newer tractors ? but going straight ahead they look normal until i get the toe in set right. first picture it looks fine straight ahead the second pic is the right side looks bent but needs the toe set if you turn the right side straight it looks better . maybe it just an optical illusion :lol:
