Ford L7000 cab mounts

Labparamour ยท 2020-06-20 11:37

Morning. Hoping someone can tell me how the cab mount/isolator bolts are fastened. Have two that the nut and bolt/stud both turn. The top side (where the head would be) appears to be enclosed in the body with no access (pulled floor mat in one are). Want to put new fuel sensing unit in saddle tank and lifting cab to slide tank out looked to be easier than unbolting saddle mounts or removing all the fitting/lines to drop air tank to get clearance. Thanks for any help. Darryl

    There should be an access hole in the back__ motor side of the mount .may be hard to reach

    Thanks for the reply. Went out and looked between rain clouds... Inside front mount looked solid but a closer look at the outside appears to have thin plate spot-welded over what might be access. Feeling blindly, rear cab support feels solid on inside...will crawl under with a light later.

    Well, I just had to look closer. Instead of trying to reach under floor mat, I pulled it back and found a rubber plug inside the cab. Was hard to reach under back of bench seat with non-tipping back. Thanks again for help.
