So, my 855 bucket control would never stay in the float position. In fact, it's always been hard to push all the way forward to float, but you can get it there with some applied force.
Last week I was moving some snow with the bucket, and was indeed forcing the lever forward, to make the bucket float. After some time, it actually started staying in float, and life was good... for a few brief moments. Then, I lost my bucket curl function.
The fix for the bucket curl was easy... a cotter pin on a bit of the SCV handle linkage had sheared, which was replaced with minimal cussing and frustration. Then I was back to no float position, and I realized the reason I had the float position working well for a few minutes there was that one of the two tie straps (item 24B in image below) had popped off after the cotter pin had sheared, but before the pin (item 23) had worked its way completely out. In other words, with only one of the two 24B tie straps connected, the bucket float detent seems to work better.
Any suggestions? I assume a completely disassembly of the linkage is in order... but where does this "detent" exist? Is it a function of the linkage, or something internal to the SCV. I know the SCV controls float, but what physically holds the handle in the float position?
Thanks!
