Is this normal?

There seems to be some play in the tilting of the bucket. The video shows the bucket rolling back even though I am only activating the loader arms pushing down.

Hey Duane,
Remember you have about 4 sets of pins with some bit of wear on them that fasten the bucket and cylinders in that system, you are also compressing the oil in the cylinder when you put force on it to lift the tractor. Some play is normal...you can bleed the hydraulics by running your engine up around 1500 to 1800 rpm and lifting and lowering your bucket through the complete range and do the same with the tilt and dump. Do each about 4-6 times and see if you get some improvement in the amount of play. This should be done any time you remove and install the loader or backhoe to get any air out of the system.
