I got it all fixed up.  She's loaded and ready to roll out in the morning.  

Seriously,  thanks for the input folks.

That’s fixed?

Has to be joking...

By far the most important aspect of bolted joint design is developing and maintaining the proper joint preload (via installation torque).

Most likely. What a jerk

After all these tips, I feel silly using my wife's fingernail polish as "Torque Paint" on my fasteners.

And I never used chrome fasteners, just Grade 8 from the local Cat dealer. (All sizes available)

Loctite of course., And yes, a shank bolt everywhere.

I was kidding, I had to stick something in the hole, to stick it back on the ground in the garage.  

It is all fixed up now.  It's running pretty good.

It looked pretty good to me - just a bit loose - seen worse
