Hi fellow TYM'rs, I was doing quite a bit of loader work this weekend, and over the last few months, I've noticed that my controls are becoming sluggish, slow, stiff - even after plenty of warm up - and sometimes they continue to move slight amounts after the stick is stopped (particularly when I curl down).
I have removed the rubber boot, squirted lube in all over the mechanism, but don't know how to actually get it into the cables running to the valve assembly itself. This is where I suspect the drag to located. In the past I have had my loader not want to go into or out of float and I have removed the valve end-cap to free up and put in fresh grease. I have zero problems with the float mechanism now; so I assume it's working correctly.
Have any of you had problems with your handle/cables binding up?? If so, what have you done to free it all up? It's not frozen solid, just stiff, sluggish, difficult to finely maneuver the bucket/loader.

I would sure appreciate some suggestions. Thanks, Greg
