Big thanks George, as I had it out, clearing, brushogging & even some 2 bottom plowing, so I decided since while it was hot, to at least change the motor oil, so I drained it as soon as I got back to the garage. The oil bath air filter; (non detergent would be best for the air filter I would think, as the contaminents need to settle out, not be suspended as with Det. oil) I agree on the loader, I will need like a 4400 industrial, as I have a lot of use for a loader. Strangely enough, and I am amazed, this tractor has been worked pretty hard, by the looks of it, (I've only had it 1 year)but it's still in decent shape, it's a LPG model ( oil always looks clean ). I cannot complain though, I've done a lot of work with this loader, really surprised how it performed, having spent many years on earthmoving equipment, I expected it to be somewhat of a joke. Being that center pin/bushing is what holds up the front end, I'll have to come up with a strong fix before the snow flies, will have to take it easy until then. Now I am curious as to how other people have rebuilt this assembly ! Time to get the manuals out & magnify the exploded view !
