Topic

I just took receipt of the 25 hp Nortrac w/loader last Saturday. I'm trying to use every mode quickly before the warrantee runs out! While in the mud, blood, and the beer, I leaned on the rear wheel lock-up to get myself out and the lever turned counter clockwise on me (loosened up). I grabbed a wrench and tightened the lock nut, but to no avail - it loosened again! The lever is not very heavy and the cast piece it screws into was neither polished or lubed, causing severe strain on the lever. It bent at the threading (weakest area). I pulled the cast piece off, polished the tapered point of contact, and drilled out the threading. The lever had two 90 degree bends in it. I cut off the threaded section, heated it up and made two 30 degree bends instead. Then I welded it to the cast piece. Lubing the tapered point of contact, it works like it should have been engineered in the first place.
