Hello folks.
I'm new to the site so please forgive me if this does'nt come out right.
I've got the 430 loader on my tractor and it gets used a lot.
The attachment at the base of the tower is not as tight as it was 425 hrs.ago. There are now spaces between the "claw" and the square mount. This results in a very loose/sloppy loader situation.
The spaces are hard to measure because I don't have a perfectly flat spot from which to start.
I've noticed that there is no wear on the square mount at all. Harder metal I assume.
The dealer has reccomended a shim kit. It would require shop time which = 50 mi. of trucking.
Has anyone dealt with this problem on their own? I was thinking about some flat stock slid in the gaps and secured somehow. I have very limited experience with my old Lincoln tombstone welder. ( basically teaching myself )
I've attached some pics.
Thanks
