One of my tilt plate bolts fell out today.. I put the unit in the shop and checked it out, compared it to the other side. It would appear that there is some sort of bushing in the tilt plate assembly that the bolts threads into. This is missing on the side that the bolt fell out of. What do I need to repair this or how do I re-bush the tilt plate bolt housing ? I did a search for some sort of parts diagram but no joy. Anyone?? What do I need to do? Thanks

Hey rumrunner,
First off, you need to put a title on your posts. It makes it difficult to get into them without one.
What machine do you have? I am guessing that tilt plate = Bobtach (assuming you have a Bobcat). If it is a Bobcat, yes, you can replace the pivot bushings in the Bobtach, assuming that they are not worn through. Also, you can ream the tapered holes in the ends of the boom arms, once again, provided they are not worn too badly.
Best see your dealer for parts and to possibly borrow a reamer.
