3616 HST Cabin, heading to 100 hours and time to check loader bolts torque. Does anyone know where to by the tool shown in the manuel to check the bolts, 4 on each side at the front cab. You can't even see these bolts let alone touch them. In the past I have retorqued all bolts except these eight. Took back to the dealer and they said they torqued them. I asked them about the special tools and they said they would get back to me and never did. I did have bolts loose at 25 and 50 hours. I just retorqued my loader and backhoe on my Kioti at 200 hrs and still had some, only 2, loose. The loader is a 116skc. I had the Cub Cadet version of this tractor without cab and it was not as tough as this with the cab. I also have known owners of the Cub Cadet 7265 that never checked loader bolts, they loosened and longated the bolt holes that went into the block. Please give me some idea where to buy the tools to get to these bolts. Or some ideas on how to get to the bolts.
