Since the first time I curled my bucket there has been a bind (almost stops) half way thru the curl. Now with 25hrs on hoe I have noticed the bucket rise and fall during the curl. Pulled bucket pins out to find the pin(bolt) is 3/8 of in. to small in dia. Removed the other pins at bottom of dipperstick and they are correct size dia. But both bucket pin(bolts) are way smaller in dia. Question is has anyone checked their bucket pins ? I might have the wrong bucket as the pins are correct for the bucket but not the dipperstick holes. The machined bosses (flanges) on the dipperstick are fractured and chipping the inside edge of boss. Checked and the bushings are in the bosses. Anyone else had or even checked to see if they have this problem? I did take pictures and emailed them to the dealer. Not smart enough to post them here but I can email them
