Stupid fix today, don't do what I did.

lundi 2 mars 2015

Today I lost one of the weight brackets and the rear weights off one side of my NH LX665. Both bolt heads had sheared off leaving the threads in the hole. Drilled them and they came right out with an easy out. Installed new 1/2" bolts 3/4 inch long and rehung the weights. Got back in machine and noticed fuel leaking in the snow. It appears that the plastic fuel tank fits real tight in the c-channel of the frame and I either drilled a hole or run a bolt into it. Looks like a fun one to take the tank out the bottom to repair. Could a 3/4 inch long bolt be to long for these weight brackets? I am going to run with a half a tank of fuel to avoid leaking until the weather warms up in a month or two. It only gets occasional use.
