This was an unheard of problem for the previous generation of GC tractor. The backhoe numbering has not changed as the CB65 name continues, but it's obvious the redesign was not better.
Hopefully AGCO address this and maybe goes back to a proven design.
Is that price for 2 plates?Hopefully the newly designed AGCO part does the trick, but I did finally find someone making replacements out of aluminum. If you're no longer in warranty these seem like a much better bet.
Floppyness is usually caused by the nut coming loose underneath the lever plate. It's threaded on the bottom of the piece that holds the stud for the control stick heim joint. I had to fix mine. It failed the first real time I used my backhoe. I have a 2018.
Nice, sometimes that's all that happensFigured it out, just loose
