FEL Control Lever Flap

[5030]

My old L-3710 had the flap too. I used it when I had the loader dismounted from the tractor to hold the lever stationary. My 5030 has a lever mounted below the joystick in the cab that locks the stick from moving at all.

Yup, sure does (at idle, at least). I'm pretty used to it now, though...

My bx is pretty new, and the plate is butted on both ends by rubber bushings. Tighten the locknut a little, and it will stay wherever I push it to. Makes no racket at all. Now if I could shut up the brake lock pedal...............................

I just noticed yesterday while brush hoggin that the joystick was making all kinds of racket. I thought maybe it was related to me starting to use the tractor without the FEL attached. Of course, I had the flap down too and that's what it was rattling against.

That's all I used the one on my B2710 for, too.
