1995 U300 - Cat 3176 motor mount "donut" bushings

December 23, 2014, 12:51:35 pm

Looking for info / source for new motor mount " donut" bushings for my 95 U300 - Cat 3176B.  Have spoken with Ring Power - Cat dealer - and their parts breakdown does not include motor mounts.  Going to call Encore next.  Was wondering if anyone has info or source.

Encore closed down months ago.

Thanks Michelle  - Probably why there's no answer at the number :-)

Just spoke with Mike, in Foretravel parts, and those motor mounts were fabricated in house. Fortunately he just happened to have 4 donuts in stock.  Problem solved.

Merry Christmas and thanks again to you and Steve for all your efforts in making this forum a great success.

Does anyone know what happened to the Encore parts stock or how Robert is doing?

I see that you already solved your problem but I thought this would be interesting reading for anyone looking to replace motor mounts.

The mount on that link looks just like my mounts on my 95 Peterbilt 379 with a Detroit Series 60.
