The sooner the pin makes positive engagement, the more the spring has to compress for the handle to be in the latched position.We fixed both of them by welding a bead on the quick-tach plate where the pin touches the plate.  Both buckets had some wear.  When you put down pressure on the cutting edge the base of the bucket would start pulling away from the quick-tach.  It seemed like once it started to move the pins would keep retracting.</blockquote>
