Abstract
The body structure 12 of a rear engine riding mower 11 is resiliently mounted on a main frame structure 13 by four cushion mounts 14. The engine 48 and steering shaft are mounted on the main frame structure 13 and the operator's seat 53 is supported on the body structure 12. Each of the mounts 14 is provided with a restrainer in the form of an inverted cup 69 which serves to stiffen the mount when the body structure 12 shifts horizontally (see FIG. 6) relative to the main frame structure 13 and when unusual vertical loading (see FIG. 7) is imposed on the mount.
