takeuchi tb 015 Bucket sloppy looking for parts and how to

[mpilihp]

Hi I have an older 015 excavator and the hinge points that hold the bucket on are loose/sloppy. Ive had it for a few years and done several small projects and it has gotten worse. I am looking to do a larger project this summer so think I should correct this first.

Where can these parts be sourced? Im assuming I should just replace everything that holds the pins in and the pins themselves?

Also have one track that has lost a metal cleat (on inside that the drive hooks into) every so often I throw that track, where can those be bought also?

Thank You

I replaced the pins and bushings on my TB015, I bought them through Takeuchi they were pretty expensive. The 2 bosses that are welded to the bucket were worn as well and I had a local machine shop make these for me, then I welded them in. I have a blueprint drawing for these if you need it . Doing all this tightened up the bucket end and now I can tell how sloppy the rest is.
