Yeah, I had one come up once too but I made a little different fix.

Nice fix Jim. Thanks for sharing.

I had detailed pics online until photobucket tried blackmailing all of us.

The bungee prevents the one side from latching and pinning the opposite side open. I haven't made a more permanent fix since it works and has been trouble free since I implemented it. :laughing:

Basically, I have the 3rd function plumbed into a second diverter on the cross tube and have a toggle switch to activate it. When I want to move the levers I turn that diverter on and then use my thumb button for the 3rd function circuit. It's worked out great!

I still have to get off the seat to hook up the grapple hoses, but I haven't touched the latch levers since.

Happened to me. One side came loose-yikes.

gg

I had both sides come loose once and I dropped my forks. Somebody forgot to close the levers.

Using the Compact Wicked to move some loose hay. Definitely have to use the roll & pack technique but once you get it packed up it takes a pretty good bite.
