No, both adapter & matching 6' bucket came from KMW via Mahindra and the new bucket that came with it had the problem, not just the old bucket with the welded-on adapter. I think the adapter on the loader arms was manufactured out of square and/or wrong material lengths - the adapter fits both buckets the same. The adapter had to be ordered from KMW to fit my ML112 loader built in 2001 - the newer models must have some differences. It fit my loader arms just fine and the QA levers work well, just the locking pins aren't quite long enough to get the straight edge of the pin below the edge of the bracket on the buckets. The tapered edge of the pin is against the bracket and when back- dragging the taper just forces the pin upwards a little more and you lose engagement. I drilled my holes thru the flat iron just next to each pin/hole - thru the loader & bucket, and this keeps the pin from taking the load and working it's way up. I've got the adjustment all the way down at the levers, which in turn lowers the spring pressure on the pin making it easier for it to slide up. One of these days I might see if I can get longer pins made and/or longer springs to correct the problem but the pins I installed will work in the meantime.
