The new to us 4030 had originally had only 2 number 10 bolts on each side to support the front of the loader supports that only go to about mid engine on the tractor. My only guess is that it was designed that way to allow for tire space at full turn when narrowed in. Anyways it cut them off on one side while loading manure so a local welding shop has an ingenious guy there that extended the loader frame out as we have it fully widened out for extra stability. My cousin has a t4040 which is a bit bigger and heavier again and it has the same design. Still love the tractor but this shouldn't happen again now. Might want to be sitting down when the ebill for that comes.
