I posted a while ago about that 1850 diesel vibrating when it's on a sidehill. I'm thinking I might have it figured out. I haven't had it in the field,it's just been on the grinder mixer,but,and I was starting to wonder if I was loosing my mind,the 2-135 started doing it. I thought that one had to be just cab mounts getting bad or something.
I had a little bit of time on my hands this afternoon,so I took the pressure washer to the 2-135 to finish cleaning up the mess from that leaky oil pressure sending unit. Both front motor mount bolts were gone. I put new ones in it,and when I used the impact wrench on the rears,they were loose too.
On the 1850,when I put that new PTO shaft and hub in it a year ago last fall,the splines on the shaft were worn off in a cone shape. Smitty told me to check the front motor mount,said I might have to shim it. It was worn real bad. I made a good guess at what it would take to bring the front back up to where it should be and shimmed it between the mount and the frame accordingly. Now I'm thinking that as bad as that thing's galled out,it might be shifting sideways when I'm on a sidehill. I'm wondering about drilling and tapping the frame to make some mounts like the 2-105 has.
Does anybody know just how to get the engine sitting so it really is lined up on the nose so those PTO splines are running true?
