I have to agree with LDI's assessment. The "loose" bolts are normal. I personally snug them up to the point of contact, but it's not really necessary. Only that the nylon part of the lock nut is engaged in the thread. The 3-point grease points only need a small amount of grease and once a year is plenty. The steering video looks completely normal to me, but a free wheeling steering wheel with the engine off isn't normal. I know my BX won't freewheel and can be steered with the engine off with some difficulty and it feels notchy. Can't say I have ever tried that with my M7060. As far as the Larsen video of Dougy breaking the steering pedestal off the JD combine, I would expect that to be a much more sophisticated system than our little open center hydrostatic tractors. By the way Chet is Dougo's son, and Chet's wife Nikkie passed away yesterday of cancer at 25 years of age. Sad deal.
