No difference in the product

I love my GC1723E, only problem I'm having is that the bucket will not stay on. Everything is locked down, but when I'm digging into a mulch pile the bucket will come off on one side. Any ideas why or how to fix this problem. It didn't do this when I got it new. It's 3 years old now with 115 hrs.

@@FISHPOT77 Check 2 spots. #1 without the bucket on flip the yellow handles/levers down like you are locking the bucket into place. make sure that pin is coming down as far as the other side. #2 Inspect the bucket itself. On the backside of the bucket on the bottom there are slots that the pin mentioned in #1 comes down into. Is that slot open, not full of mud or a rock wedged in there? Is it bent or twisted at all? It wouldn't take much before the pin from the loader would not lock into place on the bottom of the bucket. Also check up top on the bucket, make sure the loader is sliding up into place and that there is not something preventing the bucket from going all the way in there.

​@@TrueAgTurf Thank you, I'll check those things. Again, the gc1723 is a great little tractor.
