Anyone else out there have trouble keeping the latches in the lift arms? The springs seem good and the bolts are tight.

Remove the latch springs and turn them upside down and see if that helps, If that does not help check the latch for any roundness to it as they must be flat and square .

The vets comment on the flat and square is important. Welding them up with Nickle rod and grinding flat will help. as will looking at the prong notches for rounding. (same solution)

Dave:
If by chance you're using the smaller fast hitch prongs and the larger sockets, make sure your filler plates are still in place in the sockets. If not, the prongs won't latch. Don't ask me how I know. :-)
