Does the idle on my 580K sound rough?

Since I've owned this hoe the idle seems rough to me. The link is a quick and dirty video so you can hear it idle and then add throttle. Is it rough or is that somewhat normal?

I would be taking a close look at the engine mountings - front & rear

I will do that next time I go over to my property. Thanks for the tip.

It seems like it has gotten worse so I looked a little closer. I suspect that is what's left of the right front engine mount/idolator. It looks shiny in spots like grease but it is all rubber.

Do all 3 when you do it.

So there is only 1 in the front??

Yep, had to unbolt radiator and jack front up a little and it goes right in.

580k will have two mounts at the front.

580k will have two mounts at the front.

The drawing shows one front and back yet the quantities on the Case site show 2 front and back. I was curious about that. I knew there would be two in the back to just deal with the torque of the engine.

I took a look at this today. It looks like it might be easier to remove fan and shroud but getting to those fan bolts looks to be a bear with the radiator in place. I also wondered about taking the hood off but didn't see much benefit in that. Maybe get the coolant overflow bottle out of the way.
