I have a 226b a 287b and 268b all have loose arms, buckets fit loose, etc. All have lived hard lives with asphalt grinders and concrete breakers. I pulled some of the pins and they didn't look worn. is there replaceable bushings in the arms and cylinders? everything shakes side to side like they need shims, is there shim for the cats? any suggestions
