problem with 4210

john4210 · Jul 25, 2004

hi this is my first time posting but ive watching this forum for about a week..
i have a 4210 with a 420 loader 47bh..
this weekend i went to put my bigger bucket on the backhoe (24") and noticed that the grease fitting on the end of the boom was missing ,after some inspection and a little break clean, i found that the fitting broke off.. must have been from the concrete sidewalk we dug out last week.. my ? is how would you guys get the old remaing part of the fitting out?
my second ? is also at the same time i went to adjust my steering wheel to get onto the seat and the lever will not move at all .. is the steering wheel lever a comon problem..
The machine has never been cleaned and primarly works in masonary situations .it is very dusty from concrete saws and other things..
On the other note this tractor has been put threw hell in the first 6 months we have owned it and it just keeps going ..very nice machine so far..

I don't know anything about the steering wheel on that tractor, but as for the grease fitting . . . do you know whether it's pressed in or screwed in. If it's screwed in, a tiny eaz-out or even a tiny screwdriver jammed into it should work. If it's pressed in, I'd try screwing a small screw into it and then pull it out.

Steering wheel levers on the tens gets pretty hard when that plastic housing gets hot from the heat and everyone we have had does stick.

(Steering wheel tilt mechanism) - Mine is pretty dusty at times as well from all the earth I've moved with it... I've found a good cleaning (hose it down well) loosens it up - that and running it through the range of motion several times to get it loosened up. WD40 or some other product may help you get it moving, but it will attract dust and dirt in there... Just give the poor tractor a bath! /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif It's earned it. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
