Hey mates, I've got a BX25D with one serious and one annoying issue with the swivel seat.

1. The seat "pops out" on the right side pin where the latch is that releases it to lift up and swivel around. Has anyone had this issue? I can't pin point the problem..it seems like the whole mechanism has loosened up everywhere and allowing too much play for the pin to pop out.

2. There is a little sliding pin that locks the seat in the upper midway position between backhoe and front loader. I've seen most videos online where people simply push the seat one way or the other and this acts as a "notch" to temporarily hold the seat up. However mine "locks" the seat there and I have to manually push the sliding mechanism up to allow the pin the slide forwards or backwards successfully.

Any ideas?

On my BX23S had #2 problem this summer. A good cleaning and spraying some red Rustcheck(liquidy waxy oil ) solved that . Reminds me I need to spray the BH pivots under the cover today....
