Sat on my M6800S and cried, just replaced my cab a/c, then had to replace Hyd pump, now clutch is hard to press down, dont know what to do now!!
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.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.

Just goes to show that sometimes it ain’t the length of the bolt, but maybe it’s if the bolt is in the right place.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).

I like the way you think!Just goes to show that sometimes it ain’t the length of the bolt, but maybe it’s if the bolt is in the right place.
Yikes ! No way I could handle that,It's gonna be hot week here with the heat indexs hitting 115*.
When I stop sweating, I stop shreddin with the tractor, that means the humidity has burned off. I run into higher risk of starting a fire. If I get off the tractor to move or retrieve an object, the seat will heat up to over 150* in less 2 minutes. Finished my gallon of water before noon, I'm done for the day!

That’s miserable for people and livestock. Today here feels like first day of fall. It isn’t, but it feels like it.I'm gonna fill and top off the wildlife waterers today, extra salt/minerals for the cows. Yesterday at 4pm I measured the temperature of the shop concrete floor at 101* Items within the shop, atv, tool chest etc. was measuring 104.2* the galvanized metal on the shop was 126*
This week can't pass fast enough.

No, but its best to have the extra AC disposals parts, like a contact switch, capacitor and hard/run start capacitor, those items are stupid cheap and can be bought off Amazon.Do folks in that climate have two AC's installed at the residence so they have a backup in that kind of heat?
Yup.We have two, but it is because of the size of the home.
One cools the upper floors, one cools the lower floors.
On the rare occasion of a failure that can't be addressed right away, we have moved our activity up or down as needed.
Heat wave headed your way on Aug. 25th. Pop the service cover on your AC verify parts, buy some spare parts, contact switch, capacitor and if equipped hard start capacitor.Do folks in that climate have two AC's installed at the residence so they have a backup in that kind of heat?
Man that’s unreal hot we had some 35-37C days in July I was in the tractor mowing but also some days running the wipersnippers it’s hard on everything. But we also had the coldest 3 days I have ever experienced in Jan at -50 with windchill absolutely terrible. Anyways hope you all stay safeI'm gonna fill and top off the wildlife waterers today, extra salt/minerals for the cows.
