BH controls lubrication

[billfires]

Has anyone lubricated their controls on a NH 758 (or 756, 757) BH? I have 170 hours on my 1920 and the BH controls are stiff and not returning to the center position without help. Any thoughts or ideas are appreciated. Thanks, Bill C

Bill,
I never have had to lube the controls on my backhoe. But for a good lube for anything like that I like to use chain lube, not the kind you find a Tractor Supply Company, theirs isn't worth 2 cents. I get the kind sold by Massey Ferguson, it is a thicker black spray. The TSC stuff is clear and real thin. I also use it on the rollers and slides on my seat. It makes everything slide and roll real smooth.
