Hydraulic Control Lever Bolts

Dave; Congratulations on your promotion to Executive /w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif (and any missed, herby implied).

Charliebrn and Dave; It may be a design change (especially since believe the snap ring has no practical use). I will try to diagram the location this weekend. It will be easier than a textual description. (Tonight is reserved for far more important tasks… University of MD verse Georgetown Hoyas in the NCAA madness… local bragging rights on the line. /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif).

Rich,

To some extent , I know it has to be free to be pushed in all 8 (er, 9 with float) positions. I have to admit that I've not really identified why it rattles. I know the cotter pin is in there, and there's just one washer. Maybe if I add a couple more washers to take up the slack. Or, maybe if I just make up a couple of "washers" from old inner tube or something....

Re: Hydraulic Control Lever Rattle at RPM

Mine came with a spring hinged plate that was notched to the size of the control rod. Simply flip it down and it holds the rod in place, eliminating 90%+ of the virbration. Might go to a dealer and look--yours might be missing??

Mine has that too. However, I only use that when I'm not planning on moving the FEL. When the notched plate is down, mine stops rattling altogether. The issue is when the plate is up. I wouldn't expect the joystick to rattle as much as it does.

Re: Hydraulic Control Lever Rattle at RPM

Ya'll do make me wonder. My B2710 has that little spring hinged plate, too, and the only time I flip it down is when I have the loader off. I can see some vibration in the lever by looking at it, but I've never noticed any rattle whether the plate is up or down. Maybe being an old man who wears hearing aids has something to do with it./w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif
