What happens here

Examine the Bob-Tach pins and bushings located at the front of the machine where attachments connect. If the machine is laid out flat, grab the Bob-Tach mechanism and attempt to move it up and down or side to side. Any significant play or looseness indicates worn pins and bushings, which will eventually need replacement. This particular machine shows some minor play, suggesting that the tilt cylinder pins should likely be replaced soon. A well-maintained machine should have minimal movement.

Goal: Identify wear in the Bob-Tach pins and bushings, crucial for attachment stability.
