BUCKET PINS KEEP COMING LOOSE

[jardolina]

I SEE SOME OWNERS HAVE SAME PROBLEM WITH TAPERED PINS BECOMING LOOSE AND FALLING OUT MACHINE ONLY HAS 622 HOURS
HOWEVER I SAW NEW 333 AT CONEXPO AND PINS ARE STRAIGHT WHITH RETAINING BOLTS WAS TOLD BY FACTORY REP RETROFIT KIT IN THE WORKS
ANYONE EXPERIENCING SIMILAR ISSUE?

Same issue. Tapered pins keep coming loose. Replaced 3 times. Still same issue. Did you ever find and answer?

just a FYI< the OP hasn't been on this site since June of last yr, so I doubt he will answer you here?
you might want to call your local JD dealer and ask if they have a retro fit kit for your machine, and or an optional straight pin as to tapered one and modify it yourself to add a keeper retaining bolt! as long as there is clearance for one that is!
