Took the L3902 a hundred yards down the road to a neighbors. They asked the other day if I would mind brushcutting approx an acre of overgrown yard. Grass was about 3-4 feet and some willows 6-8 feet but not overly thick. Went slow as it was somewhat bumpy, but no rocks or stumps. Took about 2 hours and they were very appreciative once I was done. Got fed fresh out of the oven muffins and hot coffee, even left with some pocket change I tried to decline. Forgot my phone so no pics.

What I really like about this site is all the knowledge and if someone sees something wrong in your post, they respectfully let you know (well maybe @SidecarFlip was an exception).

Thanks @lynnmor for questioning the bolt length in post 19,502. I got ahold of parts schematic and used sharpie to trace the bolt. Bingo - been ordering the wrong bolt for 2-years. Since I hadn’t removed 2 of the bolts it looks like whoever installed the subframe used the wrong side bolts for that piece too. There is a L and R and they are different lengths.

Here’s before and after. This explains why I was stripping bolts, not enough bolt into the nut when torquing to specs.

Thanks to everyone that commented and kept my brain thinking.

Big help but I would go another step longer, that would assure that you gain the last bit of strength and leave a margin of safety should a bolt begin to loosen. Bolts can be bought at numerous places and perhaps for a lower price, just be sure they are the same grade.
