Front engine support 440ICD

Post by BKahler » Fri Jan 27, 2006 7:19 pm

As I was pulling the engine today I found lots of minor issues that will have to be corrected when I get ready to reinstall it. Probably the one that surprised me the most was the front enigne support. There are supposed to be two bolts holding round spacers on each frame rail, this one only had one bolt in place on the left side and none on the right. This tells me the enigne was not being supported in the front at all.

The potential problem I have is trying to get the front support properly installed while the blade arms are mounted on the crawler.

What I'm hoping for is after removing the blade from the front (leaving the arms mounted to the crawler sides), unhooking the hydraulic cylinders from the arms and dropping them down then maybe I'll have enough room to get the bolts poked through from the outside of the frame rails. I'm hoping someone can confirm this theory before I go to all the trouble of doing so.
