The following changes are now available for the products within the listed serial numbers.

Front axle stop kits are now available for 259D Compact Track Loaders. These kits are bolt on rubber pad assemblies that limit the forward rotation of the front axles. Refer to Table 1 for part numbers.

The potential benefits of the use of these kits include:

• Improved ability to fine grade or maintain level grade

• Reduction of machine forward pitching or "nose-diving" while truck loading

• Improved axle life in heavy load applications

• More stable feel of the undercarriage which often appeals to customers used to rigid undercarriage machines
