[QUOTE="Don Shilling, post: 49590, member: 5336"] I got a chance to work on my loader today so I removed the engine and pump assy. This unit is secured with two bolts on the engine end and two bolts on the pump end. Wrenches were not really necessary since most of the fittings were very loose. The two bolts on the pump end were missing letting the pump rest in the cradle mount. Several of the hydraulic lines were not torqued very tight as well. The left rear axle had considerable up and down movement so when I found several ball bearings laying in the bottom of the chain case, it didn't take much searching to determine where they came from. I decided to drain the engine oil while I had it on the hoist and found the oil drain cap loose and only two or so threads holding it on. This machine was right on the verge of collapsing on me if I had tried to work it. Just goes to show not to trust an old, unknown machine until you have had time to look it over thoroughly.
