Loader FEL joystick function broken

   / FEL joystick function broken #11  
Great news for you and a nice cheap/quick fix.

In my situation - not so good as it is very evident the rods are bent. One way I could get some function was to go and try to lift something heavy, like my old swather, and use that weight pushing down on my forks to "help" the rods past the bent section. Not handy but gets one by on a Sunday trying to do demolition of a burned down barn.

Will be trying the "straightening technique" mentioned in the thread I linked to. Not much to lose I don't think.:confused:

bunchgrass, good luck with your bent rods and recovery from the barn fire. Sorry to hear about your loss.

Thanks severtki,

Tried the technique explained here but to no avail. Also, it's a bit more challenging than one would think if done by oneself. So pulled the cylinders and taking them to a shop today to see if straightening is possible.
