How often do you check your loader frame attachment fasteners?

I crawled under the Hurlimann this morning to adjust the cable operated clutch. There was just too much free motion in the pedal to my liking.

While looking up, I noticed a lax lock washer under the head of one of the loader mounting frame members. Sure enough, Finger tight.
A check of all eight of the similar frame bolts (far side and near) no less than 6 fasteners needed "significant" snugging up.

18 mm box end and a bit of elbow grease and it's all good. A tuff spot to r&r for lock tight.

Don't let those snaps creaks and groans go unheaded!

Sage advice and a timely reminder, Mate.

Engine vibration and the rough terrain that is a tractor's natural environment, over time, loosen all sorts of things.

Just like a Harley, a tractor's best friend can be a wrench and locktite.

On a Kubota, almost never, On say a Mahindra, more often.
