I have an S570 with 180 hrs on it. Hobby use only. When I put pressure on the bucket in the back drag movement, the bottom of the bucket wants to pull away from the bobtach plate. In addition, I can see the bobtach springs move, which causes the pins to pull back. Driving me a bit crazy, as I cannot determine why. Bucket is a new bobcat brand that came with the machine. I've inspected the taper pins, bobtach plate, and bucket, and don't see any wear or any kind of bending. This makes a significant banging noise when it happens, so I am hesitant to use the machine until I can get it resolved. I can get the same behavior on a Titan Machinery toothed bucket that was bought new also. When the bucket is just tilting back and forth, it's tight and does not move at all. I see references to shimming or welding a bead along the bucket slots, but what is it I am trying to correct? What is the ideal taper pin to bucket slot alignment or fit? I posted to a facebook Bobcat group a while back, and lots of watchers but only one person had the same issue. He added washers to shim the spring, and said it helped some but didn't resolve it.
