Service Magazine SEPD1515, 10 October 2012, "New Cab Strut Spacers Now Used on D-Series Compact Track Loaders and Skid Steer Loaders". Disregard the existing article and refer to the following information.

Description of Change: New spacers are now used on the Skid Steer Loaders and Compact Track Loaders listed. The new spacers eliminate the need to use multiple washers to achieve the correct spacing for the cab struts. The washers and spacers provide isolation of the cab strut from the frame, preventing the transmission of vibrations into the cab.
