Thanks to everyone for their help. My dealer is coming up to my garage tomorrow to assess the situation. It could be the first step to resolution.

Thanks again..

After some work, we found the problem I had with the glow plug light not staying on. I was asked by my dealer to try the ignition switch but that didn't fix it. So I took the tractor (TC33D) and the dealer found the glow plug timer was not working. He replaced it and it has worked like a charm. Thanks to everyone that helped me with that situation.

Now the bad news. I have a 7308 loader and I wanted to get a quick attach system to eventually get a snow plow for the loader. I bought the unit from my dealer. I bought the plate and the actually QA that goes on the loader arms. I had a guy weld the plate on per the dealers instructions. The problem is, my bucket now has 4-5 inches less curl then it did. We ground off the old attach area on the bucket per the dealer. We then welded it on exactly where it should be.

I think they gave me a bucket originally that was made for a skidsteer and it doesn't work right when using the loader arm QA system.

I have attached some photos that I took. I have asked the dealer to fix it. One thing I did notice on his lot were the buckets with the QA built in. They seem to be about a 75 degree angle and the bucket they gave me has about 90 degree angle when sitting flat. Again, I think they gave me the wrong bucket.

Can anyone tell by the photos?

Thanks
Bob

If I understand you correctly, the bucket on the FEL is a skid steer bucket and not the bucket for that loader? If so, the angle of the back of the skid steer bucket is probably not the same as the standard bucket. The difference in the angle of the back is likely the problem.
