Re: Fat guy on a little tractor I've done a lot of work to get the 997 up and running. Rebuilding the engine, transmission and the front end loader took all winter. What really remains is to hook up some electrical components and paint it to make it look presentable, not pretty or show quality but presentable.
However, right now I have work for it to do and presentable will have to wait Don't cringe too much at the picture. The mud washed right off (it was raining) once it got out of the there.
The front end loader is very hard on the articulating parts. Although I retapped and cleaned the holes, put in new bolts and lock washers and used Locktite the major bolts that hold the middle together still worked their way loose. I was doing major dirt (heavy clay) moving at the time. This also resulted in breaking the front end loader mount at the axle.
This winter I'll dig into the articulating parts again and see what can be done to keep things tight.
