bucket removal

[nh_bota]

I looked in the manual, but was unable to find instructions on removing the bucket from the loader arms on my B2620. It looks fairly obvious, but I'm wondering if there are any tricks. Thanks.

I removed mine when I installed the QA, and found nothing that wasn't obvious. You take out the small bolts that cross pin the pivot pins in place, and knock them out. Just make sure you have the bucket setting pretty level when you do that. Don't tap on the grease fitting end, and make sure the pins go back in the way they came out. I did find that some pins fit some holes better than others because of paint, and minor missalignments.

What do you use to knock the pins out without mutilating the surroundings?

They are not in there that tight.. they should be well greesed, I could push some out with a drive punch, or maybe a light tap...

I was able to knock mine out with a 6" length of copper water pipe. L grade, not M.

I keep a wooden dowel in my tool box to knock out the pins, & a long tapered drift pin to line up the bolt holes. I find a pair of nitrile gloves prevents getting your hands covered with grease. I switch from bucket to ripper somewhat frequently, and it is a pretty quick job after you've done it once or twice.
