Even if you have repairs done at a dealership, better double check there work. I had kanequip rebuild the four wheel drive. Kanequip is a dealert in Kansas. I noticed a lot of slop in the front axle. I crawled under the tractor to find missing bolts, bolt only finger tight, and some just loose ( could see two to the turns of threads showing) I nearly lost the whole front axle out from under the tractor. On of the bolts that holds on the front axle was loose and others were missing. It jimmied the threads threads on the bolt. I hope it didn't jimmy the threads in the axle housing cause I don't have a metric tap and die set. I don't keep many metric bolts around so it looks like I'm headed to town. Who would have thought or expected this kind of workmanship coming from a dealer. Very frustrating.
