Hello all,
It's been a while since I participated because of work and family.
For the past several months, my 1450 would shake at start up(violently) and shake while mowing the yard. So I dug into it to investigat and low and behold there were some engine mount bolts missing from the isolater mounts...not the isolater bushings them selves but the engine oil pan bolts.
Started disassembly
Undid the driveshaft and the engine lifted right out! There were no harware securing the engine to the frame!
As you can see the isolater mounts were well intact(they had new busings)
There was one bolt that broke off into the engine but it came out easily(thankfully)
Notice I wear gloves..ain't I a sissy! LOL!
Take care!
