The metal on this one looks ALOT heavier than the other threads, however, I will try a few things and post an update in a couple days. Thanks for the replies...

Looks like we're back in business. push and pulled a bit with a porta power. springback was a lot so the final straw was done on a tree. It is not perfect but the surfaces line up enough to fit the bucket back on. thanks for the suggestions!!

This thread just helped me fix mine. Only took 60 seconds using the tree method and you can't even tell the bar was bent.

I was grappling today and twisted my speader bar. I was thinking it would need to be cut and rewelded. But before I go to my Grand daughter's birthday party later today, I'll try the tree method.
hugs, Brandi

I'm glad for you guys not having all the trees cleared yet that you can bend back your plates again.

I bumped it into a tree yesterday morning and adjusted it some. But still have an inch to go to get the grapple's right latch down and locked. I can latch onto my bucket, but nothing else.

Seems at full curl,there is movement and the grapple shifts forward on the right side, so I am thinking I have a bent pin. So I am will be ordering 4 new pins. They are all the same size. The right plate of the carrier is twisted forward at the top about an inch. It is, looking straight down, tweeked a little there also, so it doesn't slide into the V on the attachment enough.

So, if I can get a new carrier, I will. Either that or pay the welding shop and not have any idea if everything I have will install and latch.
hugs, Brandi

Bumping doesn't sound good, use the hydraulics to twist it back. Remove the grapple, at full dump you should see a gap on one side:

Curl up a little, put a small shim on the other side and full dump to twist it back straight:
