Generator mounts

[Scottfree]

I’m pretty new to the group having just purchased Scott Free (formerly B-Side) in Sep. We have a Northern Lights M673D 5 kw generator. It has developed quite a lot of wobble when running which makes me think it is time to replace the mounts. Does anyone have experience replacing the mounts or where to find the mounts? I’ve checked everywhere online with no luck. I also checked the generator pan flanges that the mounts attach to as I saw in another post that these tabs or flanges can sometimes break off the pan. Mine all seems good.

I finally found the mounts at Diesel Parts Direct, (dieselpartsdirect.com). Part # 33-83105. The exploded parts diagram indicates it may be possible to remove the “L” bracket that sits on the mount in order to replace the mount. I’ll follow up once complete.

Finally got the generator mounts installed. The picture shows how much wear occurred during the 17 years of service life that they had. The old mount is to the left in the picture, it had lost 7 mm of height. The key is to support the weight of the generator with a block and then remove the “L” bracket to get the mount out.

Thanks, Dick! You may remember you and Carol going to dinner with Cathy and me at Omar’s Carriage House when you passed by Norfolk in 2013. We finally have a PDQ!
