model 52 loader...loose?

[v8only]

I have always noticed that when traveling over bumps the loader shakes at the mount arms the vertical post that runs from the fastening point to the loader hinges the part that says "52" (if that makes sense) I have looked to see if anything seems loose but i cant really tell what im looking for as everything seems tight.

Tonight I was working the loader pretty hard digging down 2' into hard clay (till, push and scoop) and i noticed that the loader frame (the posts that say 52) would torque.

Now is this all normal or should it be fairly solid?

thanks?

Yes and yes. I have a 4300 with 430 loader. I think the quick attach is pretty similar. When I bought my tractor the loader mounts were very loose and I couldn't find any information on whether they were suposed to be that way or not. I finally found that they are not but it is a common issue. I welded shims to the square post to make the fit tight. It dose not budge now. Here is a link to a relevent post. I don't have pics of my fix yet.
