Title: Powertech LORD 283P-155 mount or equivalent
Post by: Pierce & Gaylie Stewart on August 20, 2020, 12:29:55 pm
I need 4 mounts for our Powertech 10K generator. Has anyone found a reasonable source or alternative to this mount? Thanks in advance. I don't want the gold plated model.

I thought mine were bad so bought 4 new ones. After putting them side by side realized mine weren't wore out. I will check in my spares tomorrow morning and see if they are the same number as yours. If so pay shipping and they are yours if you want them.

Will try and look it up but when I replaced mine I found a Lord dealer in TX,for those mounts there are actually a couple of different densities,if you can get the part number off the old ones you could trace it that way,think they were somewhere around $40 each.
RPM,industrial rubber parts in Buffalo NY mat be the source.

That mount looks good but will measure ours after lunch and post the measurements. $10.71 sounds like 1950's prices but really, about what they should cost.

Prior posts suggested it is an exact replacement and the $10.71 is the current price on the website....of course, they might add a huge shipping fee.

And you might look at this site as it has the specs on the Lord part number you can use for comparison to the Tech Products part.

A pretty good discussion from several years ago, including big cost savings and part numbers.

OK, They are the same at Vibration Isolators and Shock Mounts (https://www.novibes.com/Home) Tech Products is the name of the company. I ordered 4 mounts. Shipping was about $6.50 each plus tax. Part number 61591-3

Thank you to everyone who responded to my post. If you are checking your mounts, look underneath as the damage is best seen there.

Will post when they arrive and are installed. I didn't need the washers as I'm going to reuse the big flat washers off the existing mounts.

They just sent an email confirming my order. Tech Products | 2215 Lyons Road Miamisburg, OH 45342 Phone: 937-438-1100
