I had a Vulcan chap try and claim my damaged loader could be repaired once. The front pivot pins had toe-in from an accident!

Never thought a lot of them before or since!

I had a Q55 do that, the dealer did a lot of teeth grinding hoping for a trade. It got fixed very successfully. It was 8000hrs old having been on two tractors, and at some point being whacked on the lhs as the parallel link snapped earlier, both sometime after the initial impact.

Could it repaired and successfully certificated though?

Yes of course it can.

You mean like this, I repaired mine and braced it underneath to strengthen it, has been fine every since. The new loaders have changed design so it must of been a weak point, You can buy repair kits so that says it all..

Does that problem affect all quicke models?
I’ve a q56 must be 8 years old now but doesn’t have a hard life

It’s a common failure on self levelling loaders, quicke do a repair kit for it, new loafers have changed the design

Damn and I thought I was buying the best oh well

I would be extremely surprised if their is a repair kit for this type of failure. Perhaps a rebushing kit and the local blacksmith welding it up for you.

It'll be same thing which wears compensation rams pins on handlers. Folk crowd bucket right back to go down road or lonning which takes all weight off boom rams and transfers it to levelling linkage which as you see in the pics is 2 pins v close together. Issue is exaggerated even more with loader boom suspension. Need to crowd the bucket and then let it back a bit.

I see the photos, could you up load the instructions for the repair including engineering drawings, welding instructions and post repair tests, including load test.

Why would he want to ? Are you a HSE inspector , you have that sort of tone

Dr Sensible · Dec 31, 2021

Im merely advising that it is unusual for manufacturer to produce repair kits to load bearing equipment and if they do they would ask you follow their instructions as they are partially liable post repair. If you carry out a repair to load bearing equipment on your own without the makers (or equivalent) advice then you take on all of that liability yourself. Just looking out for folks to keep them right. Repairs to load bearing equipment can involve lots of post testing including NDT overload test and recertification depending on what it is. Welding can weaken parent metal work which is why you should follow professional advice.

He does seem to be the HSE police as every one of his posts so far is about HSE. So he either is or has some kind of axe to grind.

Just my observation from this repair.

I wouldn't have designed this repair kit to just butt on 90deg to the loader frame like that, of cause i have not seen the design of the frame first hand so might not be possible but a 45deg joint would provide more weld contact area and be much stronger than a 90 deg butt on the end

I don't do these types of repairs anymore myself, cant take the risk when doing it for customers, if i had to arrange it then i would do all the disassembly and cleaning etc in preparation for some one like Segar welding to come and do the actual welding. Passing the buck i know but i have no official qualifications on paper for welding which as we all know its only the paper work that matters these days not if you can actually do the job or not

Dr Sensible · Dec 31, 2021

Neither folks, all sound advice to posters that are asking for said advice. Dont know why people are getting defensive. Some of the post Ive read are misinformed, criminal and amateurish. Agriculture can be a dangerous industry which should be treated with respect. Currently it has the worst fatal accident record in the UK, almost 1 person per week does not go home.
