my buddy had his same model kubota and loader buckle just like this carrying a round hay bale with a spike. Folded right up, dealer actually weighed the bale trying to prove he overloaded it, it was under the lift capacity. Kubota came out, replaced the whole loader. Meanwhile I just picked up an old two wing hydraulic wheeled cultivator at my parents 7 acre mini farm with my RuralKing RK-37 8 inches off the ground and brought it 200 yds, the cultivator was 23 ft. wide with the wings down, from where it was down in the ground for 15 years. My RK-37 has a 2000 lb. lift cap, buddies Kubota was like 1100 lbs I think, he paid almost as much for his Kubota with a loader and no cab as I did for my Rk-37 hp. Hydrostatic with loader, backhoe and Cab. Can't be happier with my RK tractor had it 4 years now and ony problem was a JIC hydraulic fitting came loose underneath on the hoe while I was running it and eventually lost pressure while digging an almost 8 ft. deep by 20 ft. square wood burn pit. Still had enough oil to get back to the trailer and took it to Rural King, they pressure washed it, refilled the whole hydro fluid and even bought me lunch while they finished it, AT ZERO COST TO ME. They said the fitting probably hadn't been gone back over during assembly at their warehouse, here's your keys, thank you.

The pins do not "come loose". You can clearly see when you finally got it back on and installed the pins correctly the small handle piece goes into hole below when the pin goes in. That stops the pin from backing out. This unfortunately was an operator error. Looks more like you were removing the loader without the stand. Things happen and if you have Kubota insurance this might be covered as accidental damage. The hood, and grille guard exceed $250 so would be worth it if you have it.

I have used two other ways to correct wonky loader arms. 1) detach and apply a second loader bucket force for example with the loader on its side. 2) chain or strap anchor at a selected angle to the base of a stout telephone pole and use a chain/cable hoist or the tractor itself slowly backing away to do a back bend. This latter way also works to pull out fender dents (down or in) from cars or pickup trucks apart from tractorology.

LOL I did notice your driver side cylinder had a delay at the very end when you were testing it out, could have bent it slightly since you did have it pinched. Ill say your bumper saved your cylinder and the hood. I once had a failure to fire and the gun discharged while it was pointed towards the ground and away from me. Luckily its was just a .22 and it split in half, one half went in the woods and the other half hit me in the knee. I picked it out as clean as I could before walking back to the house because I was scared to tell my wife. She wasnt mad but just wanted to make sure i was ok and helped me flush the wound out.
