Check all the mounting bolts on the frame and loader. My NH had a bolt shear off right where the loader frame mounted onto the tractor chassis. I heard a loud pop when it went as I was carrying a load in the bucket. PITA to fix.

So tell me how did you go about repairing the broken loader frame bolt ? I’ve had 2 shear off over the last 8 years one I was able to get the bolt out . Then drilled out the hole tapped out the hole installed helicoil . The second one I can get the broken bolt out and it won’t drill out . Thanks for any info you may have ....Dan

Maybe able to weld a nut to the broken bolt. I bought some rods from Exergon will have to check the numbers they are called extraction rods. I have had great luck with them most recent was removed a exhaust bolt on my 6.0 gas broke off flush in a aluminum head
