the source for the rubber mounting cushion to the frame something from Mc master Carr
or just parts from automotive shock absorber ? the pto will be centered over the sprocket
using a GEM mount the one with 2 part chain guard that has up/down adjustment so no concern there
Hi Richard. Rubber cushions from automotive shock absorbers work well. I recall that Azusa sells them too. Above & below, with large washers, locknuts & cotter pins, etc.
However, if your swing mount can straddle the frame rail, the approach that I like the BEST is an automotive sway bar bushing that circles the frame rail. Attach the swing mount with a U-bolt around the bushing. NO need to drill through the frame rail (gag). Best to use a rubber bushing, not hard urethane. JMO
