Bob: Leo has nailed it right on. No one I've seen on YT has ever said this before. Where the torque tube fastens to the rear end of tractor there are bolts that have to be tightened up inside and tightened regularly, if you have a loader. My dad broke his when it was only 3 years old. He was leveling after installing a new water line. Started raising the loader and suddenly he had the steering wheel on the front edge of seat. The IH dealer repaired it and that is what he found, loose bolts just enough to let it work a bit. This was a 51 H and loaders were quite new to our area at that time. They had sold hundreds of Hs and my dad's was the first to break of the ones they sold. Some will argue that rough use of the loader is the cause, not so however loader work will cause bolts to loosen and it doesn't need to be rough use as some suggest. My dad did a lot of loader work, having the only loader in the neighborhood, he often had 5 manure spreaders hauling from him as they made the rounds to the 5 to 6 farms.
