300 loader loose

[uptaker73]

I noticed this evening I had a wierd noise. Could not find it anywhere. Finally I seen it my loader arm on the left hand side where it sits on the tractor was loose. So loose I could move it by hand. It just rest there anyway but is there a adjustment for it. I have only used it about 15 hours.

Sounds like the dealer prep wasn't so good!

The torque values should be in your loader manual. I suggest you remove your loader, torque those bolts...do both sides while you're at it. Then go call your dealer and give him a piece of your mind.
If you torque wrench doesn't go high enough, let the dealer do it...I strongly suggest you torque, not just tighten, those bolts.

I suggest you not use the loader until that arm is torqued.

Are you talking about where the loader sit on the mount. If you are there is an adjustment. It is in your loader manual on page 40-8. You can disable the quick park and this will tighten them even more. I had the same problem on my 300CX on my 3320.

Yes it is where the loader sits on the tractor. I looked in the manual. I will try this adjustment tomorrow after work. If I tighten the cap screw it should put more down pressure on the rest if I'm looking at this right.

That adjustment worked. I just hope that I dont ever run out of adjustment.
