With 7 hours on the MX clock, I checked my loader bolts today. Actually, I thought one looked loose on the left side, but I couldn't get any more on it. Checked it's counterpart on the right side and got nearly a full turn on it. Same thing for another one next to it.
Also found a little 12mm cap bolt on the right fender that was barely snug. Stiffened up the right fender when I torqued that one down.
This is a PITA, but don't overlook it. Loose loader bolts can cause real problems. Same thing for the wheel bolts. Better to nail it early before "issues" develop. I'm going back over the L4300 and the B7610 next chance I get.
FWIW
