Id like to adjust the travel on the hydraulic cylinders the curl/dumps the loader bucket. I would like to take just a little bit of the curl out. is that possible?

Technically you can do it if it's on the stroke where the rod is internal, you would have to take the cylinder apart and add an internal stop, for external stops, D2CAt put them up.

My biggest question is why?

you 'could' cut /hack off the mounting trunnions, make new ones, weld them onto the bucket. usually by the 3 rd or 4th attempt the sky goes gray ,being filled up with #&^%(four) letter words......
there's 3 or 4 other ways ,all involve money, time and effort......
hopefully the 'spacers' will do it though....

I’ve noticed that since putting the quick hitch adapter on, the curl/dump cylinders will now retract about an inch more than previously.

Ok, But why is that an issue?

Adjust the travel using the joystick thingy on your tractor

hmm I though 'quick hitch' was on the back( 3ph) or is that the new 4 point subframe for snowblowers and plows or does it mean the SSQA system? It's getting easier to get cornfused as I approach 70......

Wait till you turn 80, then you will really be confused! You won't know which way is up or down! Oh, by the way, what is "confused"?
