Hello Experts. I purchased a 811 bobcat backhoe for my 863F turbo bobcat. Unit is in remarkable shape. It came with the mounting brackets and bolts to attachment. With a helper and second set of hands, ( required as it is uber heavy and you need someone on the outside wrenching on the nuts and someone holding the bolt on the inside to keep bolt from turning. Got the brackets attached and the backhoe will not connect with the mounting bracket. It appears that the bracket may be in need of adjustment to allow the backhoe to be able to sit on and engage the hooks of the mounting bracket. There is some, not much, but some ability to move the bracket a little. Is this common? Anyone have any first hand experience with this. Is it common to have to fine tune or adjust the mounting brackets as they attach to the bobcat frame to get the backhoe to be able to rest on and engage the brackets? Thank you.
