Just came in from looking it over and am even more baffled as to the problem. The pins do indeed enter the notches in the bucket and protrude through maybe 1-1/2". The sloped side of the pin faces away from the bucket which I assume is correct? The notch in the bucket still contacts the sloped surface of the pin however. Nothing seems bent or rusted and everything moves freely. I see nothing bent or broken anywhere including the bucket. The holes are not worn at all and I cleaned the little bit of dirt that was in the holes out. Everything else looks clean. Top angle of the bucket looks fine. Watching it while applying down pressure on the bucket, it appears the pins just slide up releasing the bucket. There seems to be very little spring tension holding the pins down. I can push them up with my thumb. Why suddenly is this happening. The quick attach is one I adapted to my old skid steer but has worked flawlessly for a couple years. The bucket is fairly new and I tried another attachment and it also wont stay latched. I took the whole latch assembly off and have it on the bench now. It just seems like it cams over and goes so far that it releases all the spring tension on the pins. SO strange its happened suddenly and to both pins. Im thinking of making some kind of adjustable stop and maybe shimming the springs to be tighter.

Today's Featured Article - Restoring a John Deere 2010 Diesel Tractor - by Jim Nielsen. Following seven years working in California's Silicon Valley, my wife, baby son and I moved back to Australia to retire. We bought a small 'farm' of about 50 acres near Bendigo, in the state of Victoria. I soon found that it would be very useful to have a tractor around the place for things such as grading our long drive and brush-hogging the fields. I was also embarking on planting 1000 eucalyptus trees, and hence I would need a ripper, small disk plow, sprayer etc. to get these things accompli
