year a round cab mounting

random_farmhick · May 25, 2022

Just picked up a year a round cab to put on my 1850 spray tractor. Itll still be a bit before I get it on, but I know I need new rubber isolators for the rear mounts. Anyone know where to get them or what to make them out of? I hate to just use plastic of some sort

I have replaced some rubber items with parts I get from a plastic manufacturing company we have in town. For example they replaced old weather rubber star or spider inserts on a coupler with a plastic one
that had a certain amount of flexibility to absorb the shock of stopping and starting the driveline. Because they were made out of plastic, all I needed to do was take in an old one that was still intact to
allow them to correctly cut the form and machine the parts. Not too expensive and they have made 8 or so sets of two that work great. What I didn't know is that plastic is not all rigid and they just
needed to get the right material.

What about rubber mounts from Chevy or
Ford pick-ups,
Lmc parts, in KC KS. They sell stuff for
the older models, very helpful people,
call and discuss your dimensions....?

Drill holes in hockey pucks?

random_farmhick · May 27, 2022

Only things I can find that work from a vehicle is things such as leaf spring bushings, but they have a metal outside sleeve, and only up to 9/16 inside. In regards to the hockey puck, that wont help on the bushings I need, since it has to be a certain inside, outside, and flange. I did end up ordering some poly bushings that are too small inside, but figured I can chuck them in my lathe and try turning the inside out
