Global / euro not automatically latching

[ptsg]

There is some damage going on. The welded plate got pushed back, which may explain why you have a gap. You can see the weld tearing in the bottom.

Then there is the weird stuff going on with that 3rd hole. The bolts also look awful rusty.

Is this a new tractor?

Yes it’s a new tractor. It’s back at the dealer for a list of other issues and I added this one to the list but I was hoping to better understand myself. I’m not a welder, can you tell me more about the tearing? I’m not sure I see what you’re seeing. Thanks.

I added some markings on the picture. It should help.

In the blue arrow, you can see the weld tearing apart, cause by something that forced that plate backwards.

On the red circle, looks like there might be a chunk missing, that somehow got broken.

The broken part won't cause your issues I believe, but being a new tractor, I would expect to be in the right condition.

However, the welded plate being pushed back, means it can't trip the mechanism so it won't latch.

Thanks I see it now. And yes I agree and noticed earlier about the chunk missing. But I think that tear and push back is more of a problem than the chunk missing. I imagine they can grind and re-weld a mounting plate in the right position.

Separately, looking closer, are these gaps normal? More cosmetic than structural I imagine.

I see what you're saying but it's a bit hard to tell from that angle.

This one might help. Thanks again!

That actually appears to be a defective welding job. Automation at its finest. Makes a great-looking bead that isn't melted into both pieces-making them one.

Here’s what I think happened; If you’ll notice the bolts are one size too short for the nylock nuts to grab bolt threads and keep them from loosening, because of this that front bolt that’s missing unthreaded itself out enough that the framework of the carrier grabbed the bolt head when it was curled back....
When this happened it first pushed the welded plate back out of position then snapped the corner off at the bolt hole.
All this because the assembler didn’t bother to use long enough bolts

Little update. Took a close look at my 3 bolts securing trip plate . Same as OP’s too short to thread into nylock ring. Must be a Deere oversight. Original are 8x1.25 x20mm ,went to local hardware and got 25mm length, also applied a little blue locktite. For the tiny cost and time well worth doing to avoid Op’s Situation.

Are those deere loaders, that are made in china?

I looked at some deere loaders and they were made in china.
