[QUOTE="skidsteer.ca, post: 2827, member: 307"] 1/8 to 1/4" of sideways movement is pretty normal. Just be sure the bolt head and nut don't move in the loader arms when you lift and set the bucket back down. The bolt goes through a piece of pipe (bushing) and crushes the ears into the ends of the pipe. Making it all one solid piece. The cylinders goes around the pipe to provide a large wear surface. If the bolt loosens then the stress of the cylinder lift is just on the two 3/8" (or so) thick ears, instead of the whole width of the bushing. Look for a number on the hydraulic filter. Any good parts store can cross it for you, or go to Bobcat. There is probably 6 to 8" of oil in the chain case, so I doubt the lower plug is your drain.
