Overview
A practical owner-repair walkthrough focused on the 2038R loader parking stand's shear bolt, a known failure point that differs from the 1025R design. 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.
