Loader Bolts JD 3032e Moving/Backing out

Re-posted to General Discussion:

Been doing extensive loader work and my bolts holding the different loader pieces in place while it articulates are moving, loosening, or backing out. These are the bolts or bushings if you will that have the zirc grease fitting on one side and a nut on the other.

A call to the salesman ended with a double-downed on that they would not come out and they loosen up over time???

I've also put a wrench on them but it seems they will need a lot of force and I didn't want to damage anything without knowing if i can just muscle them back down.

Trying to attach a few pics and if anyone has some knowledge on them or give me some instruction it would be greatly appreciated.

Hello from NJ

Brand new to the forum, hoping I can get some answers to problems I'm having with a "Scotts by JD" lawn tractor.

Looking for a cheap light bar?

On Sunday I was looking at Rural Kings website for LED bulbs for my BX. A search brought up LED light bars and so I started looking at them. All of them said see price in cart, so out of curiosity I put one in my cart to see what the price was. The original price was $70, when I checked my cart it said $14. I thought that was a pretty good deal, but I didn't really have a use for one so I went back to looking. I came across the same light bar again and decided to put it in my cart again just to see if the price had changed.....it had.....dropped to $7. At this point I decided that it was too good of a deal to pass up and bought two of them.
Tonight I decided to check again and they are at $12 now...still not too bad of a deal. So I thought I would pass it along to you guys.

Buying a 318

Checked this thing out today.

Mower shop that primarily deals with Zero Turns took it in on a trade.

Was owned by the City of Sanford (North Carolina) Fire Department.

Everything checked out OK minus a crack in the 46" deck.

My friend is a welder and is going to repair the deck - however I am a bit concerned as I know decks are not cheap.

The hours are at 1686. Which does somewhat concern me. I know these Onans can last forever - however it all comes down to previous owner and maintenance.

I would hope being owned by the City and Fire Department they kept up with service however you never know.

Engine did not smoke - fired up and had good throttle response.

Oil did not look terrible however I will change it.

Air filter did have the green foam on outside which is a good sign.

Can someone confirm what year this is? I believe it's a 1992 Model but I could be wrong.

Thanks.

Here is a link to the Craigslist Posting. We agreed on $1,000 delivered.

It is missing rear taillights and the Mule Drive Cover is missing as well.

The spindles have seen better days but everything functioned as it should. Other than the crack in the deck it is in good shape with no heavy rust.

I did not see any cracks or excessive wear on the frame. It does have a belly screen underneath but it will need to be cleaned.
