Just because it is new, don't forget to check

Hello - here are 2 things the owner/operator should not neglect to check even if, or especially if, the tractor is new.
One thing is the front end loader subframe bolts. Mine were not tightened to the spec in the manual.
The second thing caught my eye while looking through You Tube videos on changing the HST filter- A guy said check the front axle fluid many come low from the factory. He added 2 quartz to his as did I. The MX has a big fill and a smaller check-level bolt on the dipstick side.
Lots of subframe attachment bolts took a little time to torque them all down. I'm glad I checked.

Yep.... found some snug, but not torqued when I got mine. I marked them after tightening, and none became loose for the next 340 hours. I still check them beginning and end of the summer.

New dosnt mean it wont breakdown..it just means is shiny when it does.

I should mark mine.
