I'm really glad I found this forum. Might as well post all my questions. My last "big" issue that I know about on my machine is that if you pick up a heavy load and are moving it around you constantly have to rotate your bucket back up to keep it from drooping down. Is that a control inside the...

OK...I think I see the vision you are going for with those bolts. Sounds fun. Looks like I will try to set aside more time that I had originally figured for doing that...since I'm sure they will be on there pretty good. I would guess this is the original flex tube. Thanks Allen

OK...thanks for the info. I will jack it up and try it out today. just by feel. If I don't get anywhere with that I will try to get one of those magnetic deals and see if I can measure anything. Thanks again for all the help...and here's hoping I don't get any movement and it's "just" a seal.

Thanks for the info...are you talking about pulling and pushing on the axle with the wheel attached?? Is the exact measurement you quoted measured in a certain way or should I just go by feel?? Is the oil that is leaking out the same hydraulic oil in the reservoir behind the cab or is this...

OK...I've been noticing that the right front wheel looks wet. It seems pretty oily/slimey. I would guess there is some kind of seal in the drive shaft that I need to replace. Anyone have any suggestions on how to go about troubleshooting this problem and/or fixing it. Thanks Allen
