swingarm bolts
#1

I did this on the old Xpress I used to have, tightened up the swingarm after the bolt on the right side came loose, that is.
Make sure that the ear on the frame didn't wobble out. If it did, you can weld a washer there that has a hole that fits TIGHTLY to the shank of the bolt. Someone had said a small block Chevy flywheel or counterbalance washer is a perfect fit. Then be sure the bolt isn't worn down. If it is, you might consider a new bolt if it is very bad.
I used the high-strength loctite, and got the all-steel locking nut at an implement dealer, I believe the Case-IH place. Either them or a John Deere (Or whoever) dealer should have them, as they are a common size, and are used fairly often on tractors & such.
I don't know how hard it would be to remove the bolt after that, because mine never needed anything done to the swingarm after that (had 6500 miles on it when I traded for my Xplorer).
