L3901 FEL hydraulics

[Chrys87]

Hey guys, I have a L3901 (134 hrs) with a FEL used mostly for mowing and light bucket work on our property. One of the front hydraulic arms has developed lateral excessive play on the silver pivot point (bushing). I grease everything as directed every 8-10 hrs, but now it wont even hold the grease. I asked my dealer about it and was told that the tractor does not have bushings.... Was told to bring it in, so I did. It then sat for a week then was told it would be another week or longer before they could look at it.

Anyways are these silver pins/pivot points a wear and tear item or is there a way to tighten the arm? The bucket and hydraulics work without any other issues.

I attached a pic if it helps.

Thanks

Side to side movement is normal, sorry to say you hauled it in for nothing, if it develops a lot excessive of play in the pin to bore then you have issues but nothing to worry about laterally.
