4310 Loader Adjustment

[Hookblock]

I was having some issues with my loader mounts getting sloppy,and not setting down level, the left side would hit first. When I was looking it over I saw 2 bolts on each side of the front mounting bracket had shifted.The first 2 pics before, second 2 after. I have the book for the loader and it doesn't say any thing about this. It's 4 carriage bolts, and the plate they go through is slotted, I moved them back and it leveled out and most of the slop was gone. I don't know if any one else has tried this or not, but it worked for me.

What is the condition of the " claws " that engage the side square mounting brackets?
Mine have considerable wear causing a lot of slop and I came up with a " temporary " shim fix for the winter.
I'm going to check the bolts you mentioned also.
Thanks.

The claws and where they contact is in good shape just the paint wore off. But I'll take a better look tomorrow. I like to know what you find out with your bolts. Why mine moved I don't know, I would say I probably did some thing wrong, like an overload.
