  If I remember correctly the metal face will face the wheel hub. Make sure you seat it all the way. I made the mistake of not seating it far enough and ended up going through a 5 gallon bucket of hydro fluid over the mowing season until I opened it back up. You’ll need to use a piece of pipe as a set tool being a socket is no where long enough to use.

  Thank you for video, I just purchased a NH WM25S, think it is extremely similar to yours. The name tags are changed to protect the innocent. I have purchased a thumb, it is off a 35 horsepower NH, so my application may be different, but I figure it is better to avoid ambushes, than to fight your way out off one. I read your informative comments, and plan to avoid the easy route, quietly traverse the terrain, with the safety off my M14 (that dates me, the were new when I got mine). Anyway, back to the grateful thanks, video was nicely delivered. Respectfully submitted

  @redragn72 It’s a very common issue across all brands. If you put a lot of weight or stress on the front end they will leak from the king pin like mine or they will leak on the axle tube where the tube and hub bolt together.

  Too bad you don't have teeth on your loader bucket. I hope your not getting any rock in your dam as that will create voids which will leak plus if you don't have a good clay bottom for compaction in the bottom of the pond with all the rock you're digging up it won't hold water especially in dry periods. I learned from the very first small pond I built.

  @@ThePrepper14 so I can’t find any contact info on your page so anyway line the bracket up to the boom there’s a u plate that will rest on the boom the holes will line up with a shim. You will have to notch the highest point on the bracket so it won’t hit the cylinder “it will hit if not trimmed” if your putting a lot of stress on the thumb it will slide so I highly recommend welding it to the boom over clamping it but it will work just clamping it on.

The four chains allow it to follow the contour of the land. I use it on my lake shore. It is limited and the dips and bogs are a problem. I did make a KZread video of it.
