None to very slightest amount of play in others (snug). Q: Are these linkages more important for vertical (lifting) support or for lateral stability of pivot points, or both??
Thanks for commenting.
Floor is pool table flat. Dealer responded to video that I sent him saying that the play in the linkage was not a problem and that several of his new tractors have play in multiple FEL linkages. Thanks to all those who chimed in on this. I guess I'm just going to keep checking on it...
All other linkages snug (but still allow movement) in all loader positions with or without load in bucket. I assume that these linkages are to provide lateral support at pivot points while lifting and transporting loads. Am I correct in that assumption?
I’m referring to the inside crescent-shaped linkage in the lowermost pivot point (curl/dump) on left side of FEL. I’ve shot video and contacted dealer. No response yet. thanks for reading my post.
Same part, different problem. The inside left linkage in a brand new 6010 has 1-2” of play on outside of “crescent” when wiggled in all FEL positions with/without load. Others are snug. Could this be a potential problem for lateral stability?
The inside, left FEL “support plate” has substantial play in it (over 1.5 inches lateral movement away from attachment points) in all loader positions with/without load in bucket. All other similar steel plates have little to no play. It this a potential problem?
