Loader Nimco Controls

[mcmike1982]

Hi guys, new to the forum. Just bought a new/used Mahindra max 28hst with 500 hrs. Had a neighbor over the other day and he decided to sit on the tractor. When getting off, he got himself stuck on the loader control stick and was basically hanging there with all his weight. So now my controls for lifting the bucket up and down are very stiff, almost jammed and will not release without excessive force. I took some of it apart, but am I able to open it up without removing the whole unit and replace whatever has broken? It says Nimco controls on the tag (1344-25) but can't find anything online. Here is a picture from my tractor and any help would be great, thanks.

Nimco offers little support.

The problem is only on lift? Does curl work properly?

If it is only on the lift spool, which spool is for lift? I see some marring on the second spool that does not look normal.

My SWAG is something that is visible in the photo is slightly bent. I don’t think some deep internal part is bad.

Yes, the tilt works like it should. I originally thought he bent the shaft going into the main control but odds are he broke something inside. That scoring doesn稚 go in the main body. The one that lifts the loader is the top right.

I guess the closest one looking at the picture

Feel stupid saying it, but I tried to bend it thinking it was that. Didn稚 really put a lot of pressure on it until I realized it was a stupid idea and decided to do some research. Did it while the spool was out and it doesn稚 affect it at all. My bad

The chances he bent a spool with joystick is slim to none. A wrench on the spool has a better chance but still unlikely. :laughing:

Do not feel bad, I have done much worse and then say well that was stupid. :thumbsup:

Will it stick or just hard to move? I agree with RNeumann, most likely something is binding a little with the pivot block.

 

[mcmike1982]

It pretty much just sticks both ways and does not retract like it痴 supposed to. Very hard to move as well. I知 sure if I use it the way it is, it will most likely bend the bolts over time. I can稚 see anything when looking at the block. If I take off the block, will it be like opening a Swiss watch where I値l be trying to figure out a puzzle?

 

[K5lwq]

Taking of the block is not an issue. The spools are not going to spring out. Try unbolting the lift spool. You might see it center as you undo the bolt.

Ok, I will take it apart and check it out. Thanks for all your help. I will let you know how it makes out.
