When removing the 3ph shaft in front of the hydraulic filter or when manipulating the turnbuckles, make sure that they can always be tight.
I somehow turned one end of the turnbuckles on my 4010 and ended up with them not being able to fully shorten or tighten up for a while. Ended up eventually breaking one of the loops on the sleeve that goes over the shaft such that the left turnbuckle broke loose.
In replacing this $57 piece, I found the shaft slightly bent. I've ordered another shaft (<$25).
Think these problems were due to not being able to tighten the turnbuckles for a while with the bushhog in place.
