[QUOTE="host, post: 487, member: 2"] well, kinda wierd. Usually the seat light is the main one. But- after wiggling my butt, it will go on. Could move the seat, but couldn't figure out how to remove it to clean out debris without unbolting it. So decided to wait to get manual to see if I slide it and lift or whatever combo may work. Then, sometimes the valve light will go off. I hope to get an owners manual and repair manual tomorrow. I have to do the weld on bushing at the bucket/ hydraulic cylinder. I think that will be a breeze. But- my main concern is if I have the dipstick out and start it, it will pepper you with oil. I don't know how much is "acceptable".
