Busted pivot rod on 400cx loader?

Yep. Very similar to my experience. What did they soak you for the timing bar?

**2022 UPDATE for anybody having this problem** I have a 2019 1025R and my timing bar sheered off at the hole for the pin location. The price now is up to $225.00. I haven't tried to "knock out" the old rod yet, I hope it isn't too hard to do without messing up the zerks. Looking ar the new part, I really don't see why there are zerks anyway.

This is soooo funny. I think that one of the pins for this rod has been sheared for many years on my 4600. It's only a problem when I have to change the bucket to the forks. When I change the angle of the mount feet, one side will typically move faster. I never understood that this is a torsional rod to keep the two sides in sync. Duh!!!!!!!!!!!

It really pays to read through these threads!!!! I'm always learning something new!!!!!
