Those 7 Dreaded words you never want to ask yourself, “What The He** Did I Do Now?”

Don’t know why this is doing this. Looks like the grapple or bucket may have been connected to only one side of the quick connect under heavy load. Happened early on but nothing recently. How would one go about correcting this? Blocks of wood under the crooked piece, little by little till it is straight again?

Thank you!

the pix are pretty small & i just cant see anything wrong with it.

might just be my eyes...

I'm assuming from the pictures, that you've bent one of the ssqa plates from the other. Like SDK said, it's hard to see what's wrong. So that should make it easier to fix. Check out a recent thread on how others have done it.

Yours looks like a quick bump in the a stump should be enough to bring it back.
Good luck!

As others have said hard to tell from the pic's whats wrong.
The only thing I see is the left side plate looks twisted, if it is then there is no real easy fix, You'll need to untwist it to get it back into alignment.

Now if the actual issue is what they call out of clock (one pad hits before the other) then that's easy, use a strap or chain to hold the leading pad back then with the hydraulics roll the lagging pad out, do it in small tries.
