Been haveing quite a time with my cubs.
Removed the loader from the 102 after takeing out the clutch plate and driveshaft.
Installed the loader onto the 123. This only took a week to do. So today I go out to use the 123 and loader and after a hour working I loose both front bolts out of the mule drive bracket ( being used as a shield for the hydro pump), replace them and everything go fine for another hour when I see another bolt laying on the ground, this time the back bolt from the startes decides to back out half way than snap off. Had to remove the entire starter bracket to remove the busted bolt. While removeing the starter a hydraulic hose fitting gave up the ghost and started leaking oil, (this hose and fitting is less than 1 month old).
So! its off to the hardware store tommarrow to get another hydraulic hose and fitting, more hydraulic oil, and new bolts for the starter.
Its hard to get quality seat time when every other time you go to use one of your tractors, you end up haveing to repair something.
Some days it gust don't pay to get out of bed.
