I was hearing a loud clunk every time I lowered my backhoe's outriggers, so I removed the backhoe and tightened all the bolts. Some took a 1/4 turn, and others took more. Everything appeared to be tight; however, when you put the outriggers up, one of the flip-over pads touches the taillight lens, and the other one is about 1" away from the taillight lens. Today the clunk is back. I have been doing a lot of trenching about 5' down, and being in the Northeast, I have encountered a lot of rocks. So far, I have been able to dig around them enough to lift them, put a chain around them, and pull them out of the trench with my truck.
Is there a manual that gives dimensions for resetting the backhoe mountings? Were they originally installed with Loctite, and if so, what strength was used? Can I fix this myself, or is it best left to a Kubota dealer?
