I really don't remember how that series of tractor is built. Now this might sound crazy, but I have known of tractors of other makes, that had loaders on them. For some reason the bolts where the transmission splits will loosen just enough to cause enough flex that eventually drive shafts or something will fail. Might be a good idea to have them use new bolts.
One time we had a 4020, just got it back from a transmission job, used it about 45 minutes with a loader on to move and scoup snow. The main shaft in the transmission broke. The repair shop said it couldn't be anything they had done as it was the main shaft. Still I wonder if the bolts on the split were tightened to the right torque. Just something to think about.
