Motor mounts?

Anyone replaced these due to failure?

Curious of their lifespan on these rigs due to heat and sheer weight of the engine assembly. Perhaps fresh ones would reduce NVH into the cabin.

Still sporting the factory ones on my OBS, they still looked "good" but I'm sure they are tired/worn out.

Surely those are worn.

I just had alternator failure in Ponsse forwarder.
It has 4 cyl Mercedes with 2 alternators.

We tried to pull the lower alternator from underneath,but engine mounts must have been collapsed,since it didn't fit from there.

Machine has only 36500 working hours..
