Quick Attach Not Coupling

[v11m]

All - just powered up the machine and noticed that the quick attach was not engaging - seems like it is getting caught up on the hydraulic arm. See Picture - Didn't know I'd have to go wrenching so quickly . Noticed this prior to putting any attachment on it.

Thoughts?

Does it operate to full-stroke with no implement on the QA?

Oh, I see. The end of the ball joint hits the stop before it can engage the locking tooth all the way down, correct?

 

[MossRoad]

Almost looks as if the stop is welded on too low?

Left side engages fully, right side hits the end of the ball joint. Does the same with or w/o attachments. Everything appears correct.

Could you file off a little of the stop so the ball joint could go past? Is this a new machine? It looks real clean.

I looked at mine and the stop is much higher. I cannot seem to post pictures.

So I measured and they are both the same - the picture before gave the impression that the right was lower.

Yep - has 1 hour on it - I wanted to figure this out before I celebrated my new toy.

Make sure there's not a pebble or burr under that right latch that isn't going down. I've had rocks get in there before. It's worth a look.
