Just a heads up on a problem that popped up on my 1742 cabbed model. Being a heavy guy, there's lots of stress on the step bolts. Had the front bolt snap. The resulting flex makes for nervous entry and exit till it's repaired. Having the step fail could cause some serious hurt. The broken part of the bolt came out easy with the drill rotation. Welded nuts are behind as there is no room above the tank. My suggestion is to get some better quality 8mm bolts to replace the existing spaghetti bolts.
