FEL on B3030 seems a bit off kilter???

[jlbota]

This post is a continuance of an earlier post FEL Adjustments just thought I would post a few pictures to show what I am seeing on mine and if others are experiencing this. I checked the air pressure in all the tires and checked for level of the floors and the tractor itself.
Here is the first shot of the bucket in relation to the grill guard.

This is a shot of the main cross tube in relation to the grill guard.

What does the bucket look like when on the ground?

This is the bucket edge on my garage floor.

Bucket edge on my concrete pad. It is a bit more excessive on the pad due to about an 1/8th inch dip where the edge sits. But it is definitly off. I can level the bucket but it has to be forced.

jlbota,

I know pictures are deceiving, but I think I can see a few things that look bent. The cross bar in the last 2 pictures looks bowed. The joints in the loader arm also look skewed.

I bet it's just the pictures making it look that way, but maybe not.

Looks like mine did. Dealer and i found lower bracket connecting the cradle arms together was to wide. We had to machine 1/8 inch off. 1/16 each side.

two things to check... #1 - did somthing get welded wrong. It could have just been a mistake when they laid the parts in the Jig. Second, loosen all the bolts and see if things will level out. We have to do this with about 1/2 of NH's loaders, they rarely sit level without some fussing.

I am going to try loosening it up and pulling the cradle out and see what it looks like. I may just go and have it machined myself if that seems to be a fix. Haven't heard back from my dealer yet on this issue.
