So yesterday I was spreading some gravel on the cemetery road with my newly aquired Gehl 450 skid steer. I went to drop the bucket and the handle went loose in my hand and I couldn't move the bucket up or down. I had a pretty good idea what the problem was (linkage) but had no idea what I have to go through to fix it. Apparently the bolt that connects the swivel joint on the linkage to the handle backed itself out. Simple fix right? Wrong.
I had to remove the dash and a ton of brackets. I finally get to the last 4 bolts holding the cowel on and apparently these bolts that go through the floor do not use welded blind nuts, and I cannot fathom how to get a wrench to the nuts under the floor. The undercarriage is pretty much completely sealed. I would love to find the engineer that designed this BS setup.
