sloppy bucket on T190

[Brickman88]

well gonna be getting my T190 out of shop in a couple days and I would like to address the loose play in the bucket, it can really get jumpy when cutting grade. Does anyone have any ideas? looks to me like maybe changing quick attach pins might help but the pin holes might be wallered out and it wouldn't matter, so I thought I would ask first before I just started changing parts. I would appreciate any ideas I could get.

The first thing to check is the pivot points. It's common for the lower pins/bushings to wear out causing a lot of play where the bobtach pivots on the arms. Also, where the hydraulic rams join from the arms to the bobtach.
Even a small amount of wear makes the bucket move a lot.

Mine had a similar problem, Mine had about 2700 hours on it when i got it and all it did was load trucks, I had about 1/2 grove wore into the stops on the arms so when you went to grade it would pull it down more and mess up grade. we welded some new stops on and now like new.
