G1900 / D722 engine mount limiter

[Hugo Habicht]

Hello,

the G1900 has some form of engine movement limiter mounted on the engine plate rear end at front of the tractor under the flywheel (see first picture, flywheel removed). I cannot find the parts in the parts manual, it is neither with the frame where the engine rubber mounts are shown nor in the drawing showing the plate.

Can anybody point me in the right direction where I find those parts in the parts manual?

Also in the workshop manual I could not find instructions how it is adjusted. Any help / hints / advice appreciated here.

Kind regards,
Hugo

Blast all the grease off of it and everything below it.

I'm finding Nothing on any bolts in that location.
It's looking like someone added a rubber mount.
The hole being drilled off center is not very Stock looking.
The plate that's bolted onto the frame look broken / worn in two and not painted.
If there are nuts holding the bolts to the frame then It's not stock parts.

Good point with the off centre bolt. But I think it is centered with the frame, will have to double check, difficult to see on the picture.

The broken part is some rubber material, perished. And the bolts holding it are from Kubota. I don't think they would have used this type bolt if it is a DIY job. And they are threaded in the frame.

Weird ...

Even if it was added later there must be a good reason for it. Nobody in Ireland would do something like this if it's only "nice to have".

Hello Wolfman,

thank you, that is the key!

Why would somebody add something like this, preventing the engine from going down too far at the front?

There is the front PTO with two big V-belts that also form the clutch and pulling down the engine, and Bingo, there are the parts in the catalogue with the PTO tensioner / clutch.

Thank you very much !

Kind regards,
Hugo

p.s.: do you ever sleep?
considering Idaho time zone it must be the middle of the night.

Nope don't sleep a lot.

Good job finding that info, I looked, but guess I didn't look deep enough.
