4035 sloppy loader joy stick

[davrow]

Sounds like two speeds... on and off. :laughing:

Correct, it is to lock the joystick handle to prevent it accidently being operated when you don't want it to be (such as when the loader is removed).

should explain it in the manual

Don't you sell these tractors? If so, don't you have a manual for the 4035? Where does it mention two speeds on a joystick, what page?

Would it be in the owners/operators manual or are you referring to a shop repair manual? One thing I know for sure, the Mahindra USA owners 24/7 page has been absolutely useless, worthless, and puts a bad taste in some mouths. I agree with what you've said before about going to your dealer for all of the info you need. However, some folks just don't have a dealer who is capable of helping.

Perhaps the answer here as to the cure for a floppy joy stick would best be answered by the manufacturer. If it were up to me, I would have already been on the phone with whomever at whatever company made the equipment.

It isn't in the tractor manual, it is in the manual to the loader; I looked. As described above, it is to lock the loader control only. There is no speed control.

Agreed about the 24/7 site. Please post your complaints about it here >> http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/mahindra-owning-operating/339569-mahindra-24-7-website.html

Hopefully if we can get enough people complaining they will get on the ball...

I did look back over this and wanted to say I was indeed wrong about the settings I misread the book on the regen process and took it as the whole loader operation. I apologize for misleading anyone.

I've often found it to have more travel before performing functions than desired as well, although it doesn't seem to affect my precision any, only my speed when being precise because so much time is taken feathering through the free travel of the joystick. I've found that higher RPMs help. The audible cues stand out more (the higher pressures make more noise as the valve begins to divert the flow to perform a function), and the range of feathering is smoother.

There is an adjuster on the cables from the control, where it connects to the valve. The manual doesn't state any adjustment procedures, but I'm sure you would just take all the slack out of the cables as is possible so they operate the spools with as little play as possible.

Can you post the other page referenced in the manual above? Can you provide the name of the manual? I am having excessive play in the joystick and also having the curl function stick (both direction). It would be nice to have some guidance from a manual before I start making any adjustments or taking things apart to check for worn cables, corrosion, and/or shavings in the check valve.

I found a copy of the ML120 FEL operator, parts, installation manual. I think I have what I need. Looking at tackling this on the weekend. Tired of the slop and the sticking curl.

redobbin, keep us posted if it works. many of us have the same issues...

thanks

Will do sir. I intend to pull and clean the cabling first then look to the control valve if that does not remedy the problem.
