FEL question

[double hunter]

Just bought a 3650 with a Bushhog brand loader, the joy stick does not return to the neutral position when you let t go, there is a spring located on the bottom with a nut beneath, is there any type adj to correct this, thanks In advance

Likely just needs lube. Some type of spray stuff works great!

Perhaps it just needs lubricated? I've had backhoe joysticks stick because pins in the joints had gotten a little rusty. Try your favorite penetrating oil (PB-Blaster, Liquid Wrench, WD-40).

Tried lubing, did not work, joy stick still not going back to neutral pos.

It's a older tractor, might need to be used, get the lube worked into all the joints.

There are centering springs under the bottom cap which return the spool to center.

Remove the cap and inspect, clean, tighten nuts, lube good and make sure the water hole is positioned so any water can drip out. There may be little balls and springs, so be careful if taking it completely apart

If the valve is cable operated, check for full movement.
