Bucket won't go down

Just a follow up. The temps warmed up and it works fine. Thanks for all the responses.

So the temps dropped and the joystick is frozen again. Is the water in the black caps at the bottom of the valve?

I had the same problem with my B2400. I'd suggest drilling a small hole as close as you can get to the lowest point of that cap. DOn't drill any farther than through the cap...... you don't want to be drilling the spring inside it. Obviously, you will need to warm it up to melt the ice inside so it will drain. Then use a canned grease (i used a lithium spray) with the little straw thingy to spray some lube up inside the cap. You can remove the cap to do it...... but be prepared for a spring and a bunch of steel balls to go everywhere ! Then you'll be in trouble.
