When I got the PT, there was one motor mount (The rubber isolation, not the actual metal) that was gone. I ordered a new one and put it in.

Earlier this week I was pressure washing the tub and here is a piece of rubber. Looking closely, it is a piece of motor mount.

Digging in today, I see that on the front motor mounts, the ones that sit in the tub, not on posts, have fail signs. I guess the constant oil bath has caused the rubber to break down. Anyone else have this issue? How often do you guys check? Any idea on the part number? Will call Deutz of Texas when we get back and order new ones (heading back to LA :-( today)

I have had to replace a couple of motor mounts - they were bad for a couple of years before I got around to replacing them.
