To the OP- glad you got it 'fixed' without having to do what some suggested you might have to do. For a guy not familiar with JD tractors specifically I think I did a good job of describing what likely happened from taking a close look at your original pics.
See post 58, page 6.

Reading the manuals for each piece of the equipment that one adds to their tractor, especially something as often used as a loader, is one big lesson for all owners to consider, of any brand tractor, mower, etc., myself included.:thumbsup:

Seems to me the latching system, as numerous others have said, definitely lacks some failsafes, which might easily be added, especially for those who 'never' remove theirs.....just saying.:confused3:

His arm is accustomed to the task and can sustain without injury.

No worries, I know how things actually work.

My brother in law has an JD 855 quick connect #70 loader and watching him move and load large rocks onto my dump trailer the driver side quick connect kept popping out of it's socket, I was amazed it didn't bend the loader out of square.
