I was unable to find the post about this so I created a new one. If it is offensive or in the wrong area feel free to delete or move it.
I had to spread 3 loads of asphalt crush the other day. I had to carry each bucket around a garage on a slight slope and then into a new driveway out back. The slope was not severe (I was safely carrying full buckets) but it was a side force for sure.
Doing my washing/inspecting after the day was done I noticed my curl piston top supports were visibly bent out. I remember several other people having this issue with the L534 but thought mine being a 2019 would have been updated/fixed. No joy.
I ended up making some 1/4" plates and welding them on. I did not want to drill/tap/washer the pins as others had done because that would not address the weak point. As much as I didn't want to ruin the factory paint on the FEL I felt it was the only way to fix the problem.
