Loader Quick Tach play

[FunHouse]

I just picked up a John Deere 110. I like the machine a lot. I'm having a little trouble figuring something out. When the bucket is latched in, there is play between the bucket and the quick tach plate. Over an inch of play back and forth. At first I thought it was the grove in the actual bucket, but the other skidsteer attachments I have, have the same play. I just replaced the Pawl(part of the mechanism that has the pin), that might have helped a little, but not much. There is still a lot of play in the bucket attachment.

Some clear pics of the problem you see would help a lot in figuring out what's up.

Click "Go Advanced" and then "manage attachments" to see how to browse for your pics and how to upload them.

Attempting to attach two pictures and one video. You can see on the one picture the square area the pin engages in. It is a little elongated but doesn't seem that bad. The other picture is from the bottom with the pin engaged. The video is self explanatory.

Looks like I can't attach pictures yet.

Add a link to your video.. if it is a youtube or similar.
For the pic, click "Go Advanced", then "Manage Attachments" and upload the pic(s) from your computer.. is what works for me.

Looks like I figured out the pictures. I was trying to do it from my phone, thats why it wasn't working before.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Is there any wear at the top of the quick tach?

Your picture of the bottom shows that there is too much of a gap there.

Here is a good thread on posting pictures: http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/news-feedback/354474-big-photos.html

When the bucket isn't tipped there is no gap there. It matches up perfectly.

Tipped which way? Need pictures.

If the gap goes away, that means the bucket is sliding up.

Xfaxman, the picture he is showing you shows the bucket in the dump position and the weight of the bucket is pulling away from the mounting plate, if he returns the bucket in the curl position say with a load of dirt the gap closes, so it doesn't look like you need a shim, it looks like what ever holds the bucket to the back plate is not correct. I'm not familiar with Skid steer so I can't help.

Are the lock pins fully extending into the bucket bracket holes? I just converted my MF GC2600 to SSQA and had to play with it a bit to take side-to-side play out. The bucket would slide back and forth an inch or two, but the pins on the loader side would just touch the back edge of the holes so the bucket doesn't tip away from the loader like yours does. My pins are tapered on the back side as well to draw the bucket closer as the levers are pushed down.

it looks like what ever holds the bucket to the back plate is not correct.

The flange at the top and the latch pins at the bottom hold the bucket in place. It shouldn't move on the plate.

His bucket is worn where the latch pins contact it, but they are spring loaded to take up that wear.

His third picture is a close up of one of the latch pins, looking up from under the bucket.

Are you able to post a video? From the initial picture, I agree with Xfaxman, but if it is only separate in the dump position, that will not be a good solution. It seems as though the bucket is shifting on you, which will be caused by the pins not engaging properly. Are you having this issue with other attachments? Do you have another SSQA tractor/loader that you can use to connect to this bucket to see if you have the same outcome? This would at least narrow it down to the bucket, or the loader for sure!

Zooming in on the pic of the pin, it looks to be bent,
