FEL unseated on 1 side

[Schmidy3]

Hello,

Somehow my FEL became unseated on one side which has pinched the pin. How can I get it reseated so I can remove the attachment?

Any ideas?

More photos please. We will need an overview and a fore-and-aft photo to show how far sideways out of line it is. Also a photo of the other side to show any effect there.

THink I would get a cable come along and put one end to tractor chassis at rear , and other end on FEL framework just above unseated pin and apply brute force... May cautiously exercise lift/drop function of FEL during process....

Other option may be to park tractor near a stout tree and placed so you can get a comealong on lift arm and around tree (at 90 Degrees) and apply some sideways leverage...

ITs probably under tension and ready to pop back into place you just need to tease it a bit...

I ended up jacking up the bucket, just enough and slowly tapping the pin out. Got everything reset and bucket is operating well and it’s level.

I had something similar happen with the pin that has the sliding lock pin. Ended up bending the small frame between the loader and main loader frame which was replaced using a chain hoist, strap and come along.

Glad you got it back on without damage. Any ideas on what caused the problem? Was the fel recently removed / installed?
I've read about quite a few instances like yours, but it has never happened to me... but I have never removed the fel on my current tractor, or previous one.

Not sure what caused it. I take it on and off on the regular, I use my B2920 to cut the grass.

Not sure if I was just complacent and didn’t notice it wasn’t full seated.

After putting the bucket on I attached my forks to it and remove a new tiller I bought from the back of my truck. So I’m wondering if something happened during that time.

Probably more than likely a complacency thing but I am usually pretty diligent.

A little oil works wonders sometimes.

A while back my neighbor had about 25 tons of gravel dropped in his driveway. I used my Kubota ..B2650+ FEL to spread it . When I returned home i saw that one of the loader arms was not in the saddle.????? I thought that it operated kinda wierd at the time, but proceded with the spreading. To this day nothing like that has happened, but I guess the FEL was never mounted properly to begin with.
Cheers,
Mike

Not sure what caused it........................

It looks like you managed to get the parts aligned good enough to insert the pin without having the loader seated in the "stirrup" of the tractor's frame. I can't see how the loader would have slipped out of the stirrup with the pin installed.
