The SSQA is loose on my B2650. Is there any way to tighten it up? I’ve looked at it and I done see any way. But I could have missed something. Thanks

What do you mean by loose ? A little more detail might help

I can shake it and it is hard to get some attachments connected and when I have attachments on it it will rattling. I’ve had the tractor for 3 years and never had this problem.

Is there sand or other debris preventing your pins from going down into the bucket or pallet forks (or whatever) all the way? Does it appear bent? (a carpenters level may help)

Is it missing bolts, pins?

Cracked welds?

(details, it's all in the details!)

Have you ever greased the retainer pins and are they engaging all the way, do handles go down all the way and do they go over center ?

Yes I heard everything regularly. I’m sorry I put the wrong details out it is the SSQA itself that is loose on the loader arms

Had similar issues with my old l3800/LA524, wear and tear will cause the rattle and sometimes hydraulic cylinders , from side to side, get out of alignment, which can cause difficulties engaging the SSQA.
The rattle, new pins may help, the cylinders, take some measurements, side to side?
