Hi
I bought a YM 1610D w/ a Koyker FEL from a local dealer who is a Koyker distributor. It worked fine for a couple of months but recently found 3 of the 4 bolts on the back left side sheared off where the FEL attaches to the tractor. He had a separate company install the FEL and brackets, and they used standard quality bolts rather than grade 8. I replaced them with grade 8, but soon found the after-market (?) bracket broke along a bad weld. Looks like it also damaged the tractor housing where the bracket attaches (see www.webworldinc.com/tractor for details).
Any suggestions on how to correct this? In the worst case scenario it looks like I'd have to replace that housing. Where can I find parts like that for a 1610D? Whether the seller is liable for this or not is in question at this point. There may be a difference of opinion--the tractor was sold 'as is', but this was not part of the tractor, per se. But that's a different thread.
Thanks in advance...!
