    Putting the cart before the horse…..Three Phase power question???????

    When used as a phase converter most VFDs have to be derated by at least 25% and 50% is safer. Dan

    D750 Main Bearing Carrier Bolts

    If you cant pull up 23 lb-ft there is ZERO chance of snapping a bolt. Check the internal threads in the crankcase. I suspect they have pulled out. Dan

    L4400 3 point lift bounces with mow deck
