If you have recently had the balancer replaced on the motor in the recent update, you might want to take a very close look at it, as there "may" be a serious problem.

Yesterday morning, 8 hours of run time since the balancer was replaced, it left the end of the crank, shearing off all six bolts that hold it in place. This also took out the fan blade, but we did get lucky, and nothing ended up going thru the radiator, but it does appear it's going to be fun getting new parts, plus there are six bolts broke off in a recessed hole in the end of the crank.

From what I have been able to determine at this point, from looking at the parts that left, and the situation with the broken bolts, it looks as if reusing the old bolts, with the new balancer, that the bolts will bottom out in the holes "before" actually everything becoming tight. All six bolts where cleanly sheared, and at the same depth. The face of the balancer shows that the heads, flanged bolt, had worn on the balancer. The broken ends of the bolts are "tight" in the holes. Nothing shows any signs of this being a case of the bolts not being tightened enough, but truly looks to be that they bottomed out just prior to getting that last "snug" needed to keep from allowing things to "work". No apparent signs of any of the bolts having worked loose, putting more stress on those left.

If your machine has had the update done, I highly suggest taking out a bolt and doing some depth measurements and compare them to the bolts. This is not a fun surprise, especially when it's broke down in the middle of a field and we are having 100*+ temps daily.
