Anybody else ever had a problem with there detent for the float position on their loader? Did my 50-hour on my bx today, which went smooth as silk. I then went and started to move some dirt and the first time I put the bucket in float position it work fine. The second time it would not lock in place, it only worked if I manually held it there. So I called the dealer and he told me more then likely the detent balls are rusted from condensation build up in the two cylinders and the bottom of the control valve (4 way). He was absolutely correct. I tapped the inner cylinder with a wrench and it started to work again. So I unscrewed both cylinders and let them soak in some penetrating oil. Then I cleaned them both up and lubed them really good. Now it works nice and smooth /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif I did notice last season that it was a little tough to disengage the lever out of float position. Now I know why /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif
