...when changing quick release loader implements. I was installing the pallets forks yesterday when I had a booboo. I approach the implements with the loader arms in near full dump postion. I do it this way so when I first lift the implement I can easily see if I have both sides of the quick attach mechanism hooked before I roll the thing back and get off and set the locks. I found out the hard way that the lock levers can very easily hook into the backstop on the fork assembly and bend when you tilt the forks back. The levers will bend far enough to necessitate using a long pipe to bend them back to a useable position. This is on a NH TN 65, you might not run into this problem on others.
