hutchman, just want to thank you and John for your help. I will double check and get the bolts properly torqued. I feel fairly certain that these have likely never been checked either and it would seem to be fairly easy preventative maintenance. Seems a bit excessive and certainly inconvenient to hit them at each 10 hour increment. Just another "it is what it is" situation. Now for a new question. Is there a product you'd recommend from Tractor Supply, or Wal-Mart, or Autozone, or O'Reilly's, or etc., that would be correct for topping off the gear box / hydraulic fluid when I change my hydraulic filter for the first time? Also, what is the recommended viscosity of the engine oil. I'd guess 15W-40. I used Rotella 15W-40 for this first round as the closest LS dealer is 100 miles and when I called they said Rotella 15W-40. Of course he also said that the engine would take 7 quarts and I was very nearly full at one gallon. What is the oil capacity of the r3039's engine?
