Happy New Year ! Check Those Bolts

Happy New Year everyone.

Just a reminder to try and check every bolt you can. Yesterday I removed the posthole digger and put the box blade back on in preparation to haul the tractor to a customers shop and move some boulders and do some light grading for him. I noticed the loader valve seemed awful sloppy, pulled off the boot and one of the allen screws had almost fallen out. Strange I did not notice it when drilling 10 or so post holes for a neighbor a few weeks back (every time I setup for a new hole I drop the bucket to the ground). Must have happened on the mile drive home. I had that valve apart a few years ago and know I tightened those bolts, my mistake not using blue locktite I suppose. Moral of the story here is that if something doesn't feel right STOP, and fix it. This could have been a waste of time having him come to the house with his flatbed tow truck as well as embarrassing
