8.6 Bucket, Removing

If changing to a different accessory or size of bucket, support
the boom so that the bucket is resting on the ground. Make sure
the boom cannot move unexpectedly when the pins are driven
out.
1. Remove retaining bolts and nuts that secure the pins.
2. Carefully drive the pins out. If the pins do not move, shift
the boom, link, or bucket (be careful that the bucket doesn't
drop). Do not pound hard on the end of the pin. It could
mushroom and become stuck.
3. Remove the bucket and position the new attachment in
place.
4. Clean and lightly grease the pins.
5. Insert the pins and carefully drive them in. Adjust the
position of the boom or link as required.
6. Install the retaining bolts and nuts.
7. Lubricate both pins through the grease fitting on the end
before putting the backhoe into operation.
