How does the front two bolts attach on the front of the fender deck on a 69 140?

Dan, if you go to the JD parts catalog, it might help you to figure out how it goes together. It's sort of an isolator set up to help keep the fender deck from vibrating. I've attached a link to the catalog that shows the break down of the parts.

That link doesnt show anything but but the parts lookup main screen...it resets every time its loaded from a link...
All you need to do is type in 140, and then go to the the Frame section, it shows the pieces there.

Seems like it would have been easier to just use the same rubber isolator they used on the back...

Dan, The job is definatly a two person task. One above the tractor, and another below. There is very limited space in which to put your hands. The top isolator donut,the center isolator cylinder, and the bottom isolator donut must all be installed along with a washer, lock washer, and a nut to secure the whole assembly. Without a person on the top, the carrige bolt will just wiggle up out of the assembly, and the whole bottom stuff will fall out. Good luck!

The rubber isolator on the rear of the pan appears to be a thicker or taller affair than the front, much like a motor mount with a stud on either end. At least that's what I have. The PO put carriage bolts and flat washers in place of the front mounts, so I need them too, or maybe just some automotive type shock bushings like the ones that are sold in auto stores under the HELP package label. They aren't as high as the back. I think there was a thread about them sometime back on the forum.

Thanks for the heads up on the parts catalog Jim, I thought it would show what I had seen when I copied the page address and pasted it in my post. I also agree with you on the use of the same style mounts front and back. The back ones aren't any problem, but the front can be a pitb sometimes. Looks like they could have used a thinner one of the same style on the front. Sure would have made it simpler.

I just posted a description of the mount "stack" and part numbers in another thread.
