SSQ Bucket falls off

[ovrszd]

When the handles go "over center" they should almost compltely compress the spring.

What loader? If it's the LA723, there were two different models QA for them.

LA853 Loader

Ok, couldnt remember at what HP the change was.. I have the LA853 on my L5030, never had the bucket come off.

So a couple people responded that they did not see what I think is wear on the bucket.
My eyes are not what they used to be, however this still looks like a problem to me.
Maybe the main problem, maybe not, but looks like it needs to be addressed.

Am I just seeing things?

If it is bent down it definitely needs to be addressed, but the way I see it, it looks liked scraped paint, but I am using my phone so it it could be bent.

No I see it too. The sun angle and shadow make it hard to see.

I lightened the picture to make the shadow stand out and added a straight line along the edge of the slot:

The worn spot shows in the dip on the shadow on the back of the bucket.

The way the slot is worn, the pin should be worn at the edges and not flat all the way across.

But I don't think the slight amount of wear would cause the bucket to come off.

Yeah that would definitely need to be fixed unless you can make the pin drive further down in the hole to cause more friction. If it’s wore like that, I’m curious how worn are the pins.

Good eyes!

A friend builds many SS buckets and other attachments, builds and adapts tractors to SS making unique couplers. He also has a CASE SS of his own. Compared to the other AG attachment systems, he has little nice to say about the strength and integrity of the SS system.
