Hello, everyone. I took the tractor to the dealer yesterday morning. The service guys looked at it and said, oh, that's an easy fix. It was fixed and I was on my way in ten minutes. Good job Stotz service department in Bluffdale, Utah. The problem, as mentioned by some smart people above, was the quick-attach system on the right side had become loose, and once some weight was put on it, it become completely disengaged. The right side was too loose, the left side was too tight. The guys corrected this, showed me what to do, and how to check it. It's embarrassing, and I realize that tractors are tough and meant to be at least partially fixable by the end user. Thanks again to all who contributed to this thread.

Well, that was anticlimactic! :laughing:

Good for you! Send them some pizzas. :thumbsup:

Excellent news and I am very happy that the doubters and doomsdayers were not correct this time. We have to have faith in the OP sometimes. Please post some more pictures post repair. We like pictures. Nice looking tractor by the way.

Glad it was a non event.

I am not familiar with this set up.

I'm having trouble understanding if one side was out, why was it not clear that it came out?

If I remember this weekend, I'll take some pics, but it looks like it normally should. I think the reason it doesn't look like it came all the way off is because it didn't, it's just easier to describe that way. I guess what came all the way off was the lock that let the rotating part of the attachment come forward.

You should not be embarrassed by the incident, chit happens. My words may have sounded harsher than others, however the intentions were good. Most of the answers are in the documentation that comes with the car, truck, tractor. We just tend to be too lazy (or stubborn, or..) to read it all. And in times of excitement (new .....) we don't ask the dealer people enough questions.

Glad it was a relatively painless fix.
