We'll, I finally did it....
Went to take the FEL off yesterday, which I've done several times, but this time wasn't on perfectly level ground. The right side came up and off, but the left didn't. I then tweaked the stand enough so that I couldn't get the right side to drop back on. After fighting for a while, I manged to get it back on and found a new spot to try again. I finally got it off and parked, but the stand is definitely bent a little at the downward bend on the right side.
I want to take the loader off more frequently since it makes mowing the lawn so much easier, but now I'm nervous. I'm sure it will bend even easier now that I got it started. I think I can get a new one for a couple hundred $$ or I might straighten mine the best I can.
I'm wondering if anyone has welded in gussets on those bends to reinforce them?
