A cab mounting and suspension system for an agricultural windrower that uses pivoting elastomeric mounts on the front corners of the cab and coil-over shock absorbers on the rear corners. A stabilizing bar is mounted on elastomeric isolators and located between the cab and the windrower frame across the back of the cab. The bar extends the full width of the cab to reduce the amount of movement of the cab from side to side as the rear pivots up and down through the range of the coil-over shocks.

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed is: 1. An agricultural windrower with a longitudinal axis extending between front and opposing rear ends, front and rear wheel pairs supporting a main frame, an engine and drive system supported by said main frame to supply motive power to said front wheel pair, an operator's cab supported on said main frame adjacent said front end of the windrower, said cab generally formed as a rectangular box-like structure with a top assembly and an opposing bottom assembly, first and second opposing side panel assemblies, a front panel assembly and an opposing rear panel assembly, and a door in one of said side panel assemblies for ingress and regress, said bottom, side and front panel assemblies forming two front corners, said bottom, side and rear panel assemblies forming two rear corners, and a cab mounting and suspension system comprising: first and second pivoting elastomeric mounts interconnecting said bottom assembly of said cab, one adjacent each of said two front corners, to said main frame, each said first and second pivoting mounts having an upper elastomeric portion and an integral lower elastomeric portion, each said portion further having a central axis wherein said upper elastomeric portion and said lower elastomeric portion are integrally formed and said central axes are angled with respect to one another, said lower elastomeric portion connected to said main frame, said lower elastomeric portion further having opening therethrough, said opening being disposed along an axis generally offset from and parallel to said central axis in said lower elastomeric portion and generally parallel to a line generally parallel to said two front corners, said elastomeric mounts constructed so as to allow flexure of the mounts in substantially any direction, especially pivotal; first and second yokes rigidly affixed to said main frame, one adjacent each of said two front corners, with a pin extending through respective each said off-center opening connecting said first and second pivoting mounts to respective yokes; and first and second shock absorber mechanisms interconnecting said bottom assembly of said cab, one adjacent each of said two rear corners, to said main frame. 2. The windrower of claim 1, wherein: each said first and second shock absorber mechanism includes a coil-over shock absorber. 3. The windrower of claim 2, wherein: said elastomeric mounts comprise rubber. 4. The windrower of claim 3, further including: a stabilizer bar having first and second opposing ends, said first end of said stabilizer bar pivotably attached to the rear panel assembly of said cab adjacent said first shock absorber mechanism and said second end of said stabilizer bar pivotably attached to said main frame adjacent said second shock absorber mechanism. 5. The windrower of claim 4, further including: elastomeric isolators affixed to said first and second ends of said stabilizer bar and attached to said rear panel assembly of said cab and said main frame, respectively, to provide said pivotable attachment. 6. The windrower of claim 1, further including: a stabilizer bar having first and second opposing ends, said first end of said stabilizer bar pivotably attached to the rear panel assembly of said cab adjacent said first shock absorber mechanism and said second end of said stabilizer bar pivotably attached to said main frame adjacent said second shock absorber mechanism. 7. The windrower of claim 6, further including: elastomeric isolators affixed to said first and second ends of said stabilizer bar and attached to said rear panel assembly of said cab and said main frame, respectively, to provide said pivotable attachment. 8. The windrower of claim 7, wherein: each said first and second shock absorber mechanism includes a coil-over shock absorber. 9. The windrower of claim 8, wherein: said elastomeric mounts comprise rubber. 10. An agricultural windrower with a wheel-supported main frame, an engine and drive system supported by said main frame to supply motive power, an operator's cab supported on said main frame, said cab generally formed as a rectangular box-like structure with a top assembly and an opposing bottom assembly, first and second opposing side panel assemblies, a front panel assembly and an opposing rear panel assembly, said bottom, side and front panel assemblies forming two front corners, said bottom, side and rear panel assemblies forming two rear corners, and a cab mounting and suspension system comprising: first and second pivoting elastomeric, mounts interconnecting said bottom assembly of said cab, one adjacent each of said two front corners, to said main frame, each said first and second pivoting mounts having an upper elastomeric portion and an integral lower elastomeric portion, each said portion further having a central axis wherein said upper elastomeric portion and said lower elastomeric portion are integrally formed and said central axes are angled with respect to one another, said lower elastomeric portion connected to said main frame, said lower elastomeric portion further having opening therethrough, said opening being disposed along an axis generally offset from and parallel to said central axis in said lower elastomeric portion and generally parallel to a line generally parallel to said two front corners, said elastomeric mounts constructed so as to allow flexure of the mounts in substantially any direction, especially pivotal; first and second yokes rigidly affixed to said main frame, one adjacent each of said two front corners, with a pin extending through respective each said off-center opening connecting said first and second pivoting mounts to respective yokes; and first and second shock absorber mechanisms interconnecting said bottom assembly of said cab, one adjacent each of said two rear corners, to said main frame. 11. The windrower of claim 10, further including: a stabilizer bar having first and second opposing ends, said first end of said stabilizer bar pivotably attached to the rear panel assembly of said cab adjacent said first shock absorber mechanism and said second end of said stabilizer bar pivotably attached to said main frame adjacent said second shock absorber mechanism. 12. The windrower of claim 10, wherein: each said first and second shock absorber mechanism includes a coil-over shock absorber. 13. The windrower of claim 12, wherein: said elastomeric mounts comprise rubber.
