Just returned from playing tour guide... The Boom is straight... thanks for your help with ID'ing... ;)

I will double check when we return home. Am in Moab, UT for a few weeks Jeeping with friends & former work-mates... ;)

It's 100", so it must be a BH9x Thanks for the help in identifying it... ;)

Thanks for the dimensions. Will check it out tomorrow... ;)

I believe that Dave has likely hit the nail on there head... -- If you find the shaft is NOT bent... 1- Make sure you are NOT over-tightening the bolt. 2- If you are using the recommended torque, I would them verify that the blade/washer(s) combination is truly flat, AND/OR verify that...

What measurements should be taken to assist with identifying the model # ?

I am not sure of the model #, as I bought this tractor and BH as a used unit, with a 6" loader bucket, and ALL of the model stickers of both the loader and the BH were removed before I purchased it. AND..., I am not familiar enough with these machines, to ID them by visual cues. There is some...

Neither of the two holes were wallowed out, and the piece that was broken off was firmly retained in place by the one fastener which did not fail, or else I would not have had that piece to re-weld into position. I suspect that the failure of the fastener with the missing head was what...

Was clearing brush this afternoon with the BH on my L3240D, when the BH bucket control suddenly stopped working. Was able to get it back to the shop where I discovered that one of the control pivot brackets had broken into, taking one of the mounting bolts with it. Was able to weld the...

Two more cycles (a week or two apart) of using a LARGE 2-arm puller both with heat AND using a large brass hammer, then another round of soaking in Kroil, removing the puller, and using a brass drift and a 4 lb maul... Still no joy... Am considering cutting the pin, removing the stabilizer...

The foot pins are free. What is stuck is the arm pivot where it mounts to the backhoe frame.

Yes. zerk removed, passageway cleared with a drill bit, then a 1/8" NPT street elbow and fitting installed for having a 6" tall tube to be filled with kroil, then capped with a plug to keep contaminates out while using it. Every few weeks, I would top off the Kroil to ensure it was staying...

BOTH of the stabilizer pins were seized when I bought this tractor, but the left one finally came loose with some persuasion and kroil. The Right one has been soaking for nearly two years in Kroil, but it's still stuck. I've tried pressure, no-pressure, a hammer, a BIG hammer, (8-lb sledge)...
