Britains JCB 718 Dumper Hitch

[John Deere Collector]

Hello all,

Im looking at removing the tipper trailer of this model, then changing the wheels and then using the model for a conversion, however the pivot / hinge between the rear body and front body seem loose, and do not stand without the cab leaning slightly backwards. I have tightened the screws but to no avail. Does anyone have any tips on how I can resolve this leaning backwards/

Thanks in advance.
