CHECK! those bolts/nuts!

[Crutches]

Hey Soundguy,
Put some green lock tite on it. I bet you will not break it loose then. Red holds very well but green is second to welding it!

The most dangerous loose nut is the one that holds the steering wheel /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

i do.. as a part of my pre-trip-check.. kick tires.. look at lug nuts. mower pins.. lynch pins.. etc.

This one actually worked loose and I got lucky enough to catch it in progress.. course the shift in the mower 'feel' did help a bit.

I have lost 2 while hogging as well, now keep 2 spare just in case they both go on me at the same time.

an additional little tip stolen from auto racing
it takes a few minutes with a drill bit and some wire to prevent
them from loosening, holes can be drilled through the nut/bolt
and if it's large enough a cotter pin can also be used

Hey Priz,
The picture shows a very professional job right down to the wire installation. I did not see anything in your profile but I suspect you are not a rookie at spinning a wrench! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
