Joystick won\'t return to neutral

My Kubota right hand backhoe joystick won't return to neutral without manually doing so. I sprayed WD-40 but that don't help. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Terry

Re: Joystick won\'t return to neutral

Just a possibility, my iseki had a valve that would loosen the spring behind the valve that kept it centered. It was under the cap on the back of the valve that would not work right.

Fixed the problem. My dealer told me to keep spraying the pivot knuckle before it goes into the valve and work it back and forth. After a while it started to loosen up and now it freely returns to neutral.
My baby is just like new.

B7500,

Thanks for the "fix" to your sticking joy stick. My FEL joy
stick has been getting progressively worse lately and the
my forward/reverse control is starting to do the same. Now
if I can just REMEMBER to take the WD40 out the to the
property maybe I can get it fixed!!! /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

I forgot last weekend! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Thanks,
Da
