[QUOTE="spitzair, post: 110138, member: 3333"] My dad did this to his 732 many moons ago as well by being VERY rough with the machine. Tore the hoses off the cylinder as well, bent it, etc... needed a new cylinder too if I recall correctly. He welded new pin bosses in and pounded the top plate back down and welded that back up too. Unfortunately he didn't get the location of the pin quite right and now the bucket won't roll back as far as it ought to and it will dump out too far causing the cylinder to go over center and then the bucket is stuck tilted too far forward. We've gotten used to it so we know now not to dump the bucket too far but someone not familiar with the machine will usually have it over centered the first time they dump the bucket. Not a huge deal, just drop the bucket on the ground and drive backwards and it usually comes back up but if you try to roll the bucket back while over center it will pull the bucket further back towards the cab until the bobtach comes in contact with the cylinder rod causing it to bend. So like Tazza says make sure you get the location of the cylinder right before welding it solid! [/QUOTE]
