I have no complaints with the Summit kit.
Wasn't difficult to install.
Half the price of what your dealer is asking.

Heat is the key. (you don't need much)
welding a nut to a broken bolt is the best way..
but in this case where you are concerned about damaging a seal.... left hand drill is best.
not only are you drilling in the correct direction, the generated heat helps release it.
Any good welding shop can fabricate one up in about 20 minutes.
I knocked the rear one off my deck also... luckily I found it and welded it back on.
It happens...
Looks like a handy tool to keep in the cubby.
a little $pendy but probably worth it ...... if it's a reoccurring problem.
I say go for it. you can't take it with you Grandpaw... $$
I like the idea... of course my brain is thinking I could probably make one iffin I didn't have 500 other...
Cut into the lawn?? as in, Turf?
I assume you are not cutting the grass with a tractor of that size....
anyway, turf tires might help. but it's the nature of the beast... check air pressure and take it easy.
be thankful you don''t own a skid steer.
