Skid steer loader cab mounting apparatus

In a skid steer loader comprising

• a main frame including a compartment in which an engine and transmission components are contained, both of which generate high levels of noise,
• a cab,
• means for mounting said cab adjacent said compartment on said main frame,
• said cab including load bearing side walls extending upwardly from said main frame to define an operator control area therebetween,
• a boom structure mounted on said load bearing side walls,
• said boom structure comprising a pair of arms and a linkage assembly for operatively coupling said pair of arms to said side walls, and
• power means comprising means for operatively associating said engine with said boom structure for raising and lowering each of said pair of arms along a generally vertical path adjacent its corresponding load bearing side wall to which it is coupled, the improvement comprising
• resilient support means for isolating said frame from said cab and said boom structure whereby said cab and said boom structure are isolated from said compartment to thereby interrupt the path of the noise transmitted through the frame from the engine and transmission contained in said compartment.
