Imo a lot of the stress put on Tractor Center sections with Frontend Loaders
could be prevented by making sure the Bell housing bolts are tight and stay tight. There is a lot of leverage in this area. I have not personaly had breakage but I do read about it some. There is a NH TC 30 forsale on tractorhouse with a craked bell. If you zoom in real close you can see one of the bolts has clearly backed out. I have a TC 30 with 300 hours and no problems. Right after I bought it new. I checked and the bolts were not as tight as they should be. I removed each one one at a time and applied locktite. Maybe this info will save someone some money.
