I spoke live with service managers from 2 different Bobcat dealers, and both told me this is normal, and to use a tackier grease. One did say that if the "play" is over 1/4", they sometimes weld a bead on the bobtach to build it up, therefore reducing the back and forth movement. I was still somewhat skeptical of this because it clanks metal on metal if I don't keep grease in there about every hour while in use. This is a somewhat new issue, as it didn't do this until recently. I'm concerned that even if I get the back and forth movement shimmed, I'll still need to grease it every hour of use... I was looking at this video, and was possibly going to try some nylon rope. Though not crazy about doing this on a machine with less than 200 hrs, it does seem like it would pad the bucket movement, and help keep dirt out. I think that is similar to what you are describing with the nylon rod, though hard to visualize. https://youtu.be/Q8_sHSc6hJo</p></blockquote><p></p>
