Watch the pins on your backhoes

[cowboydoc]

I was digging out a trench today and noticed the backhoe arm going sideways. One of the bolts that holds the pin in had broken and the pin had slid out. It broke the bushing on the side so I had to weld that. I will be taking a look at the bolts from now on.

Thanks for the heads up. I noticed the same thing on my FEL. I check all bolts more often these days.

The one that holds the bucket arm on.
