Implement falling off SSQA

[6sunset6]

My tractor NH TC34DA is 10 years old . It was new and came with a NH SSQA. The last couple of years when I roll the bucket all the way forward it fell off sometimes. I roll it that way because I have a grab arm that closes over the bucket. If I want to grab something big I have to roll the bucket so the grab arm closes around the object against the bucket. I though the pins on the SSQA were getting worn so I added some material by welding. Did not seem to help much. Anybody else have this problem? I could buy new pins they are around $40 each. But if it does not fix it I will not be happy. I never liked that SSQA . I like the ATI ones . I had one of those on another tractor. Any thoughts ?

How tight of fit are the pins fitting in the bucket.
To tight the pins can't go down all the way, to loose and the pins can be pushed up/out.
If set/working correctly the bucket on a SSQA will not come off.

thanks read thru the whole thing. I was thinking of new pins. I think they could be an inch longer and still lift clear.

I got new pins new PN replaced old no. An inch longer . I would guess I was not the only one with the problem.
