I was digging a pond and was using my forklift attachment with plywood on it to move dirt and while attaching and lifting dirt ( allot of weight ) the fork came off on one side. now it seams like one of the cylinder is sticking out more than the other side and now it won't line up with the bucket and can't attach it anymore .So my question is can one side be align with the other can I do it or am I going to have to take it to the dealer and I hope I don't have to do that. ? any help in this matter will be greatly appreciated ...johnny

Have you tried to extend and retract fully to re-synchro the cylinders? If that is the issue, pictures would help.
Bent Quick Attach on Loader
Just a bad day, worked in rain most of morning then this...... Rain let off early morning so I started brush hogging paths, food plots, trails, and removing some trees that had fallen. Getting ready for the up coming deer season on our lease. Cut up and pushed a tree back in woods that had...

generally yes you can fix it by cutting the bar out and replacing it or by bending it back into place
that process is discussed in detail in some of the threads you will find
Bent Quick Attach on Loader
I'm late on this thread. I had twisted the quick attach coupler on the loader on my B2601. Took the coupler off the tractor and took it to a shop who put a rod through the connecting pipe, heated the pipe with a torch and bent the coupler back into alignment. So, now to keep it from doing that...

Figure out what bent and the forces required to get the QA plates parallel and flush again. It may require push one side against a tree or hooking a chain to a tree and pulling with your hydraulics. If you can't get it back where it belongs, it is generally an easy fix for your dealer.
I had saved this info from a previous post by I think whitetiger:
Loader bucket area twisted.
I got my fel in a bind today with my pallet forks on. I think one fork pushed that sides hyd cylinder in putting it shorter by about 1 1/2 in. Is this possible or did I bend the rod. There is no binding , noise , etc extending/reversing .
How do I make sure no pressure in lines so I can remove the hoses & move the ram to line up with other side or have I bent something expensive. I'll have time tomorrow to do some actual trouble shooting.
You have twisted the indexing bar between the two plates for your quick attach.
Set your attachment off, extend the cylinders a few inches, and put a block of wood in behind the pad and loader on the short side. Now move the joystick as if you were curling the bucket back. When the long side becomes equal to the short side, curl a little more. Move the lever to dump to release the pressure from the wood block and lay a straight edge across the quick attach pads and see how closely you have them aligned. A little tweaking at a time and you will get them back in alignment.
