The 2nd and third pix are of a JD FEL retrofit latch, which I imagine is
a response to problems with the front QA mechanism on the 4x0 loaders.
These came out a year or so after the 4x00 tractors did, based on the
date of the instructions manual. This is not a problem if you use the two
bolt holes to secure the loader plate (3rd photo). Anyone have one of
these? Was there a recall notice? Maybe they were just installed by
the dealer or mfgr on units sold after mid-2000?
D,
The latch on mine-but never use it, it's somewhere in the garage. I just don't see how the plate can flip forward if the locking handle on the left mast is engaged. I think it may be a lawyer engineered device.
