Oil Filter on 345

[Mariposa]

Getting my SOA done and shocks mounted I needed to test run my rig and find all and any bugs. Working some mine tailings and twisting my binder around I was suddenly engulfed in white smoke and saw flames coming from the engine. Found that the oil filter was twisted loose.... well I got the fire out and then put a new filter on and changed the oil... I checked the engine for movement under a load for motor mount issues but the motor held steady.. Forward and reverse... It is evident that the motor mount is hitting it. Anyone else have this issue or confirm that it is the motor mounts....

If the outer metal sheel of the motor mount is resting on the frame mounts than the mount is worn out and should be replaced.

Motor Mount is shot

Yup... I see that the mount is shot.. I will be saving up to replace them. If it' s not one thing it's another... Oh well it will be worth it.

This explains alot......I see the need for a better replacement.both sides were this way... I will be placing an order for new ones when I get the money....

I'm running the rpt mounts and they are worth every penny.
