I also have a LS, different model with 25 x 8.5 x 14 front tires. I may be replaceing mine soon. I agree that the tire circumference needs to be the same for a 4x4. It seems to me any 25 x 8.5 x 14 tire would have 25in diameter and would have the same approximate circumference. I know from stock...

I noticed today that if I try to drive the backhoe bucket in the ground with any force to grab a deep scoop it won't do it. The arm goes down slowly and will only dig in when I rotate the bucket. Is this normal?

It appears that the one I just purchased has had the same procedure done to it. I hope the pictures come out. I was comparing to the pictures of magnus580. I think like some one else mentioned the loader puts a lot of stress on that area and it needs beefing up. Now that I am looking closer, it...
