I'm getting ready to order replacement pins and sleeve and a hydraulic cylinder rebuild kit and want to fix my sticky foot pedal while I'm at it.

I have no clue what part I need to replace though?


The problem:
When using the backhoe thumb and foot pedal to operate if I step nearest me on the pedal it will stick the valve open until I tap it again on the top part of the pedal and then go back to not open in either direction.

What part is this?

It cant be a sticky pivot pin on the pedal its self? That function prob isnt getting used a ton.

Yeah, most backhoe valves have a bunch of heim joint links, similar to tie rods. Especially on
joysticks. I do not know the M59, but all of these joints need old fashioned oil can lubrication using
a real oil (not WD40!).

I am curious how the foot pedal linkage is done on the M59.
