B2710 Kubota with 430 hours. Several months ago the control for lowering the front end loader became difficult to engage. Bucket tilt works fine. Problem progressed to where I had to raise the front end loader then snap the joy stick down to get it to move the rod into the control box. Last night it stuck in the down position. With the bucket on the ground I had to back the tractor to the barn. I removed the control box cover, loosened the 2 Allen bolts that hold the small ring around the rod, spayed with WD40, detached the joy stick and rotated the rod to and fro--all to no avail. The rod is still stuck in the down positioning in the control box.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
