looking for help with my 7TL FEL Joystick

madhouse · Dec 24, 2016

I was using the FEL and noticed that the joystick seemed extra sloppy. Then it went completely wonky! I have torn it apart and found that the back left gizmo that the joystick pivots on is loose. I'm assuming that I simply need a bolt in the bottom of that gizmo to make it work. I need to know what size bolt is needed. Any help would be appreciated.

There are three gizmo's in the joystick assembly. Two of them are connected to the cables going to the valves. The third and the one in question - as far as I can tell - is simply there to be the pivot point for the operation of the joystick.

It does not show a size for the screw in the shop manual.

T-man, Thanks for the reply.

Your picture proves that my conclusion was accurate which makes me happy. Now, back out to the shop to dig through my bolt supply and see if I can get lucky. There isn't much snow in the forecast but I would like to be ready.
