how do know when it's time to replace bucket pins (s130)

[[email protected]]

my new s130 there is a little slop in the bucket, 1400 hrs or so. i had it serviced by a local guy who does it on the side when i bought the machine last week, he said they aren't too bad but will need to be done eventually. i noticied that the bucket is slighly cocked when compared to the loader arms, (very very slightly) is this likely pin and bushings wearing more on one side than the other?

I would do them sooner than later. If you go too long you wear into the weld in bushings in the quick tatch or the tAper hole in the arms.

When your bucket falls on the ground and you have to pick it up with chain! Other than then you're good to go! Seriously - rattle the bucket tilt peddle and look at the bushings. If they have a lot of slop in them it's time to go to Ebay.

Just did them in our t320 today. Took about 1 1/2 hours start to finish. Replaced both tAper pins, the pound in bushings in the quick attach and 2 tilt cylinder pins.
