7310 loader

[roy49]

I recently purchased a 1992 Ford 4630 4x4 tractor with a 7310 loader. I got the rig from out of state didn't get a manual for the loader. My problem is the left side of the bucket is about 2" lower than the right side. I have checked out the connections on everything and nothing seems lose or bent. Does anyone know this loader and are there any adjustments that I don't see? Thanks for any help.

One of the guys here posted recently with the same problem. He asked his dealer about it and was shown a large steel ring attatched to an anchor embedded in the floor of the dealership maintenance area. They told him a slightly twisted FEL was not at all unsual. It's easy to do if you're not carefull pulling as stump or large rock out of the ground. They said they generally pulled them back into shape by hooking the high side of the bucket to the ring and lifting to pull it back into shape.

The only "adjustment" I know of is to just check and make sure your bolts are all tight.

but before you go to the extreme of bending your loader. Check the air pressure in the rear tires and make sure they are the same you would be surprise how a little difference on the rear can make a big difference on the front.
