[QUOTE="Joe288, post: 3188, member: 503"] OK guys had just enough light to get it apart (Thanks to Tazza and Eric) and looked to see what kind of damage I have and it doesn't look good!!. Seems like the pin and bolt were run lose for awhile now, Ware the pin fits into the bob-tach is really sloppy but it looks its just the bushing is shot I don't think that’s a big deal if I could replace the bushing. But on the other end of the pin were it goes into the loader arm its whore out pretty bad in my book, The pin tapered end goes into the lifting boom and comes out the other side like 2/16 of a inch there is no bushing in there like Eric said its just all lifting boom (All Metal) so now how would I go about fixing this. (Skidsteer Ca) said something about a tapered reamer but wouldn't that just make the hole bigger? And here’s the other thing I Just bought this machine used off a bobcat dealer I don't think they new it was like this it was a trade in I’ve had it for two months and I put 15 hours on it this damage could not have come from my use this looks like it was loose for years looks like the original owner even put a big washer over where the pin sticks out of the lifting boom, Do you think I should make a call to the salesman that sold it to me or what do you think guys. I just bought 3 acres of land and this bobcat with my life's savings to build my new house on I really don't have lots left for repairs already this early in the game Any of your thoughts on how to go about getting it fixed it would be most appreciated Thanks Joe [/QUOTE]
