I am in the process of putting my l245dt project back together and the bolts that holds the brace for the FEL to the bottom of the chassis keep coming loose. I figured there was a reason there was no bolts in it when I took the tractor apart. And someone previously welded the back of the loader arms to the front of the cab to try to stiffen it up. It seems like a lot of strain for two bolts. I am taking it to a machine shop to re tap the holes. The original bolts are 12mm unf and the guy at the shop said he would drill for 9/16" unc. Just wasn't sure if anyone else has run into this and if it would be safe to go up to that size or if more bracing would be nessecary to keep everything rigid.
