Tim shows the full process: removing the snap ring and pin, extracting and replacing the shear bolt (8mm x 25mm 10.9), and reassembling with the correct washers and bushing. Also notes the O-ring's purpose and warns against losing the bushing. Best for 2038R owners who've already snapped this bolt.
An owner-operator channel where Tim works through real repairs on his own tractor with family help, presenting himself as a fellow learner rather than a professional technician.
Tim believes it's meant to protect the loader stand itself when the loader gets put in a bind while attaching or detaching it from the tractor.
It is an 8 millimeter by 25 millimeter bolt rated 10.9, which Tim says is the hardest grade he could find.
It is used only during painting to keep paint from getting into the cylinder. It can be removed anytime without causing a problem.
Find the bushing immediately before moving the tractor, since it will be lying on the ground or stuck in the loader stand, and losing it complicates the fix.
