Case w 14 payloader cab hold down bolts

This is a 1975 Case W 14 loader. The cab is some loose. There are 3 bolts with rubber bushings that I understand. There are 4 larger bolts on each corner that have a big washer on top of a steel bushing, but the inside steel bushing is longer than the thickness of the cab and floor combined. Therefore it can't be snugged down ,but it is made that way----I think. Any of you fellas have this machine and understand how to tighten the cab down???? Thank you len in michigan I can send pics to an email address.

    The cab has to move freely some. If your cab is moving too much, then the cab rubber mounts have gotten old and soft. The second larger bolt with the long bushing, is just a safety, to stop the cab from moving too far if the other mounts failed.

    Thank you Gary--greaty info. and help. Mine has two of the rubber mounted units on the back side of the cab and one in the middle on the front side. The front one is 22.00 and the rear ones are 85.00 per--seems like quite a price difference.
