FEL joy stick.

[Ohio RK24]

Howdy folks,
I have a quick question about the FEL joy stick on my RK24. It seems that about once every year, I have to tighten up the the nuts that hold the joy stick to the actuator assembly.
Has any body ever applied lock tight to the threads before installing the nut to prevent them from working loose?

I have done so on other machines. There's no reason it would hurt. Anything to dampen the vibration getting telegraphed to that handle should help.

Teflon tape will do the same for you if you have that handy and not the loctite.

Great to know, I always have some teflon tape at hand as I live in a very old house. Never a question of if I will need it, just a matter of where. I have in the past used to make up for over sized screw holes in wood.
Thanks again.
