I tried to remove one of the bolts today. Not much luck hard to drill and fiberglass was getting to hot. I jumped over to work on the mini loader assembled a few things on the GT, then I came to the realization that I don’t need to remove the frame from the fiberglass roof. I can clean up the metal ...

Terrific to hear from you Eugen. No driving what a bummer. I hope the situation turns around soon. Enjoy the holidays and you’re in my thoughts and prayers. Harry

All ready for next season. Reassembled the hydraulic oil pump with lovejoy coupler and pump housing. Bolted o...
