[QUOTE="FJRDarksider, post: 127398, member: 22866"] You should replace both pins/bushings on the bucket as well as the tilt cylinder. Mine were toasted with zero evidence that any grease had been applied in the last decade (bought it used this year). Bit of a chore as my bucket for some reason had brass bushings on the pivots. This made it easier to drill them out (using the old pin as a guide) with a hole saw and a grinder to allow me to insert the new bushings (not a factory bucket I don't believe). I actually had good luck sourcing parts off Amazon for the bushings and bucket pins. I was able to find 1 1/.4" pins from the local auto parts supplier here in Ontario. Some folks mention the bolts aren't long enough to grab the pin when re-installing........I just used a coat hanger with a hook on it to pull it into the taper so the bolt could grab it......worked great.
