This is usually caused by the twisting force applied to the pivot pin when moving long logs using a track loader or grapple. This issue can be solved by loosening set screws on the bottom bracket and then raising the door slightly. This will bring the door's edge to the frame and remove the scrape.

After cleaning the coupler or thumb replace it with a new pin. Check that the pin's diameter is the same as the old pin. Use an appropriate
