I picked up 70A a couple of weeks ago, and once I made some repairs to the oil lines and got a neighbor to help me unload it from my trailer, I finally got around to get it installed on my 955.
The left front mounting pin does not sit all the way up into the slot on the frame bracket (although the latch does close all the way) and the left mast will not seat all the way down into its socket. Upon closer inspection there is a noticable bend in the parking stand. It looks like I will have to cut the parking stand in two to "separate" the two halves and get the loader to seat in the mounts properly. Then rebuild the parking stand to tie the two halves back together in proper relation to each other.
Just wondering if anyone else has gone down this road before and discovered any pitfalls or tips/tricks to this approach.
