The quick-attach pin for the D95 loader needs to be modified and reversed. Starting on the
left side, remove the cotter pin and pull pin out. Flatten the one side of the pin down so that
a minimal space is used. Insert pin from the inside and push out. Re-install cotter pin.
Repeat for the right side as well.
