Since I've owned this hoe the idle seems rough to me. The link is a quick and dirty video so you can hear it idle and then add throttle. Is it rough or is that somewhat normal?
I would be taking a close look at the engine mountings - front & rear
I will do that next time I go over to my property. Thanks for the tip.
It seems like it has gotten worse so I looked a little closer. I suspect that is what's left of the right front engine mount/idolator. It looks shiny in spots like grease but it is all rubber.
Do all 3 when you do it.
So there is only 1 in the front??
Yep, had to unbolt radiator and jack front up a little and it goes right in.
580k will have two mounts at the front.
The drawing shows one front and back yet the quantities on the Case site show 2 front and back. I was curious about that. I knew there would be two in the back to just deal with the torque of the engine.
I took a look at this today. It looks like it might be easier to remove fan and shroud but getting to those fan bolts looks to be a bear with the radiator in place. I also wondered about taking the hood off but didn't see much benefit in that. Maybe get the coolant overflow bottle out of the way.
