Swivel...I guess

[grainger12002]

Anyone have suggestions on tightening up the joystick on yfl 1500 yanmar front end loader ? I dont have an issue per say just want to tighten up the joystick a bit, and all i see is these swivels and when i determine thats the problem...and i have not, where can they be bought ? Does anyone one have a pic hey could share ? Mine has had some modifications by previous owner,though it works its kind of in the way and has some play to it.....

Thanks in advance

Been waiting on someone to comment on this. I don't know what your talking about but willing to make a fool of myself anyway. Are you talking about tightening the valve up where it attaches? Be easy now!

no,it seems to attach o.k., i will try to get a pic of it, but someone repaired the joystick,it appers to be attahced to the platform by to bolts which are always loosening up..its how the joystick connects with the valve.it has a three swivels that go side to side and are adjustable,all work w each other to get the bucket to move and the loader to go up and down....soon as some snow melts i will get a pic of it..

This is just a stab in the dark but if the bolts stopped loosening would that help? What I am getting at is green locktite is the wicking type you put it on after something is as tight as you want it and it seeps into the threads. It is not permanent or super high strength but it does allow you to adjust bolts w/o loosing the grip of the locktite. hth
