FEL curl gone, cable broken ?

[Tim M]

Joystick has no "grab" when moving to the left to curl. Happened all of a sudden. Tractor has about 150 hours. All other function are working.

Not sure of the innards of the cables or how to disconnect them. But it feels like the joystick won't "pull" the cable to curl.

Pulling the rubber boot up shows that all 3 balls look ok (not cracked).

Can the cable break such that it will still "push" but not "pull"??

Thanks,
Tim

I was able to unhook the cables at the valve and remove the joystick

The dump/curl cable is snapped off at the joystick.

How do I get the cables off at the joystick?

Thanks,
Tim

Got it.

Glad it worked out Tim, surprised it was a cable, I figured linkage to the valve body, I think that is how mine works?

Was it a cable or did the hose pop off the valve? I've knocked the hoses off periodically while clearing brush and get the same symptoms. Easy fix.

Yes, cable was snapped off right where the threads end at the joystick. Picked up a new one from my dealer today under warranty.
