SECTION 82 - FRONT LOADER (BOOM AND MOUNTING PLATE)
82-32
PARTS INSPECTION
Mounting Plate Assembly
1. Inspect the plate, 1, for straightness. If the
mounting plate pods are not straight with each
other it may be difficult to hook up to attachments.
Refer to the “Checking Procedure for Buckets
and Attachments” in Section 8 - Optional Equip-
ment for further details. If the mounting plate is
not within specifications, replace the assembly.
2. Inspect the latch pin area for excessive wear,
which can result in loose attachments. If the pins,
2, do not slide freely, remove the pins, clean and
lubricate.
3. Inspect the mounting plate pivot pins, 3, and
bushings, 4, for wear, which can result in loose
attachment to the mounting plate boom cylin-
ders.
4. Inspect the cylinder pivot pins, 5, for wear. In-
spect the pivot pin holes for wear that could
cause a sloppy fit. Replace the bushings in the
mounting plate or pivot pins, if necessary.
Latch Handle/Spring Assemblies
1. Inspect the latch handle pivot holes, 6, for exces-
sive wear and binding in the mounting plate.
2. Check that the spring, 7, is not bent, damaged,
or has broken coils. Replace if necessary.
Latch Pins
1. Examine the latch pins, 2, for excessive wear and
binding in the mounting plate.
2. Check the tapered area of the pins for wear or
chips. Replace if necessary.
