What did I break?

[BlueKnife]

From now on I'll remember to keep it closer to the ground until the SSQA is locked..

Good call. This is what I mean. Anything can break, if it's abused enough. A bit of care and thought prevents a lot of problems.

The loader arms don't seem to be bent ...

I found a picture that clearly shows what we're talking about being bent or twisted.

I think it was due to the extra 46lbs from having the front tires loaded. I'm kidding...

I know your just kidding, but you forgot that I got rid of the liquid when a changed to the 8 ply rated tires ... Of course they are a tad heavier than the factory 4 ply rated ones ... But in-order to put in the puncture sealing stuff the dealer had, it had to go ... !

Ok, I got home today and got some looking at it ... Definitely out of wack!

Video of before ...
Messed up

The cross member was actually bent, kinda hard to see ...

So I tried what the video showed ...

Almost perfect ... I measured it and it's off by 1/8" ... Close enough for me!

Cross member is now straight again!

Final "test" ... I hooked it to the bucket with no drama, just like when it was new 4 years ago!!!

THANK YOU Everyone!

I consider it "Resolved" due to the helpful TBN participants!
