I dropped into a hole with the loader full of dirt and broke the spindle off the axle housing. They sent a new axle housing and the spindle is a much larger diameter than the old one. I like that, as it seemed the old one was under engineered. The problem (other than they forgot to drill and tap the filler hole) is that they are having trouble finding the new front bracket assembly that fits the new and improved housing. It is 2" in dia. The parts store told me everone is at the convention and he is having trouble getting a response. I've been working on this all summer. Anyone know of a good parts place? Pete
