The rear loader support brackets bolt to bosses cast into the lower front corners of the clutch housing. Three bolts on each side hold them in place.
In normal use this may be just fine. If however any strain on these rear mounts, like a full bucket of wet sand raised high enough to dump in a pickup can cause disasterous results.
I broke the left corner off the clutch case. The engine to case bolt held so no damage was done to the block.
This was a very expensive fix {parts} I did all the labor myself over the winter and am scared to death to use the loader without designing additional support to relieve the strain on the clutch housing corners. An industrial type frame spanning both sides from the rear axel forward to the front support appears to be the only answer. That and a yoke under the clutch housing tieing both brackets together at that point would give me the peace of mind to get on with work that has to be done.

Was one or two of the three bolts ever loose?
