I have a 2007 tl100a with a 52lc fel. Twice in nine years of owning it I've had the joystick cables to the control valve come loose from the compression fitting that allows adjustment at the operating valve which then causes the fel to lose ability to raise up......and both times my brother in law was driving it. It's an easy fix as you just re-center the cable housings in the fitting, tighten the allen bolt back up, and the fel works fine again. This time he was pulling a large round bailer and not using the fel...but I thought he told me he had the fel in float while making the round bales. I've never used the float but I'm curious if this puts additional movement/stress to the cables and could be what causes the cables to come loose? I'm fairly mechanical but not a real tractor driving expert so just curious what some experts think about the float function?
On another more humorous note....when it happened last week he called me and asked me what I did to fix it the last time it happened. As I had completely forgotten about it I told him I didn't remember but I'd look a bit on line. I googled the problem and came across a post that sounded exactly like the same problem on the same tractor............turns out it was me back in 2008! I'm not getting older I'm just getting a lot more forgetful
