This seems to be a common occurrence sadly, see it all the time in the FB groups.
Don't skip step 4! (260B removal from 1025R)
Yep I did that.
Might as well laugh at your mistakes! Crying doesn't help.
Step 4 ( 4 of the 16 steps listed on the sticker on mine ) reads something like... "Raise seat"
The seat hung up on something on the tractor and pop went the seat mount!
Not cast steel or cast iron, some kind of light weight feeling pot metal alloy.
$265.xx and it all good again. 😢
I could have hobbled a repair but with only ~300 hours on a still relatively new machine I chose to cough it up for a replacement....

Hmm I do know Deere's OEM changed the buckets on the 260B to cast recently... maybe it was during that shift.
OEM 12” bucket build differences on new 260B backhoes
Wondering if anyone has came across this? I recently went to my local dealer to purchase a new 1025r TLB, they had two new units on display. End to end, both were new 1025R’s with the same options and 260B backhoe. The only difference I could see was one had what appeared to be a “cast” bucket...
