Greetings!
I am preparing to install a 3rd function kit from Summit on my 4820C, but I'm not sure how the loader joystick grip comes off of the joystick lever. I can't tell if it is pressed on, threaded, pinned, glued, or stuck with bubblegum, and I haven't been able to find any videos of this model. I've seen many videos of other 3rd function installs on a variety of tractor brands where people hacksaw their grip off, sawzall it off, crescent-hammer it off, or simply cut the lever itself and live with a shortened joystick, but I was hoping to avoid destroying it if possible. Can anyone enlighten me as to how this is actually assembled, or even better, the correct way to disassemble it? I'd really rather not resort to taking it apart with the Remington 870.
I've checked the service manual, but it doesn't depict the grip in any sort of iso or assembly drawing. Several pictures are provided of it, but only to identify it in its assembled position (see #11 in the image below). The closest parts catalog I have found also merely shows it in assembled form.
Thanks!
Tom
