I'm not too sure, but I think I starting to have an issue with my FEL joystick, specifically the float detent. Its really hard to take it out of float!
Background:
I hardly use the float function on the FEL. Only when I shut it down, I push the joystick into float and let the bucket fall. But I've started to notice that when I attempt to pull the joystick out of float, its REALLY hard! Well, harder. Its been gradually getting harder and harder to do. Going in to float is easy, but now I really gotta thrust that thing backwards with a loud pop! That cannot be good. :thumbdown:
I've largely ignored this 'issue' since, well, everything still seems to work just fine. Just hard to take it out of float.
I've taken the cover off before, to tighten the joystick rotation. It started twisting in my hand, so I simply tightened it and all is well. But that was a while ago, this is a more recent issue. I havent taken it apart yet to see what I can see... if anything.
Is this something others experience with this joystick? Have you attempted to fix this issue in anyway? I need advise, before I start pulling bolts and screws out of my tractor. :laughing:
