Thanks Riki...those bolts look tough enuf and I'm sure they'll hold for a long time. I already have new-repop front engine mounts, but haven't put them in, yet. I looked at replacing them b4 but I couldn't find an easy way to get to them (even w/my small hands). I have to admit that I didn't look very hard or long and there is probably a simple tool combo that will make the job much easier.

It's been awhile since I addressed this vibration issue, having to replace the gen w/alternator, but it turns out that Riki you were spot-on , the front trunion joint boot was gone and there was a grove gouged into the cast metal housing. I got the complete re-build kit from MM, installed it and had the drive shaft balanced. NO MORE VIBRATION! BTW - I still can't get to the front motor mounts but I just temporarily used a ratcheting strap to secure the motor until I get to that job.

I'm glad as well your problem seems to be solved, and I hope it's a lasting repair but typically when the housing itself has grooves worn in the tracks that the balls & caps move in, just replacing the internals won't solve the problem, or not for long.
BTW, no reason to have any particular trepidation about changing the front motor mounts, once you actually get to it you'll find it's really very easy.

O_D - the kit I got from MM was the complete rebuild kit, including a new housing, so all internal and external parts were changed (except the ball which is part of the drive shaft).
The motor mounts will be changed soon because I need to replace the head gaskets (drivers side is leaking coolant). Once the heads are removed the motor mounts are easy to get to from the top
