Kioti joystick lock?

[_RaT_]

I use it when I remove the loader so I don’t accidently recharge the unhooked lines or deadhead the hydraulic pump.

You won't deadhead the pump, just sitting there it is in bypass, when you pull the lever it will pressurize the line in a brief moment and then go back to bypass. Once you shut the tractor off, the pressure will leak down eventually. I still get the logic of your post nd that is a perfectly good reason to use it. I remove my loader almost daily or at least weekly.

Can you lift the rubber boot or take the cover off and inspect all the linkages? The lock is a simply a mechanism. It just that metal tab that slides over some grooves on both spools.

I tried to take the rubber boot off had no luck....Any idea how to do it?

From the workshop manual, almost looks like it needs to be pulled up? I can't confirm 100%.

Here is the link to the hydraulics part of the manual and the joystick is at page 9:

Thanks everyone for your help it was a loose cable that kept the groove from lining up with the metal tab! All better now. ☮️
