Took a couple pictures this morning of the quick attach sitting on the bench. I will try to address some of the questions posed to me.
As you can see the pin protrudes a couple inches with no bucket attached. If the bucket was there it protrudes into the notch in the plate about 1-1/2". The back of the notch still contacts the tapered part of the pin. This would wedge the bucket tight against the quick attach. I think this all seems right. If not please correct me.
Really has me baffled as to why it went from working fine to fall off so easily.
Notice however that the spring is barely compressed at all. I can push the pin up fairly easily a ways with just my thumb. With bucket attached and applying down pressure on the edge it just wedges the pin up and out of the notch and the bucket falls off. This just started happening since I brought it home from a job where I work. There it seemed to work fine. Never happened before.
The only adjustment I see is in the other picture. its on the top of the rod connecting the pin to the handle. If I tighten that it would indeed compress the spring more but also withdraw it from protruding as far into the bucket notch, which would defeat the purpose in my eyes. No more pressure would be forcing the pin down. The adjustment would seem to just limit its travel downward.
The levers feel looser than normal and doesnt require as much force to latch, at least to me. The stop of the levers travel has always been when the handle contacts the frame of the quick attach. Im wondering if someone fooled with or bent the handles while it was at my work job site. No one should have touched it. Seems unlikely but not inconceivable. Kids could have fooled with it even at night or something.
Really has me baffled as to why it went from working fine to falling off so easily just like that.
