Update on my 1500D

[Mace]

I got ahold of RCO today. Again they were as helpful as can be. He said the problem with the FEL is a common one with those kind of Koyker controls, haning to do with moisture getting inside a rubber boot. I took it off and tried to lubricate it with WD-40 per his instructions but it still takes a lot of force to raise or lower the bucket. RCO assured me they would get Koyker to send new control valves. He also told me to send pictures of the leaking seal on the front wheel and he would send a new seal.

I can't complain at all about the support I have recieved. I just hope a seal is not too hard to replace.....

Here's the latest on my problem with the controls on my FEL. RCO put me in touch with a rep from Koyker. He told me to take a punch and drive the hinge pins out of the levers to clean them.

I apparently don't have the right kind of punch, because i wasn't able to do anything but deform one end.

I talked to the Koyker rep again and he assured me that two new control levers would be shipped out to me today.

Koyker sent me two new control lever assemblies. He said to fill the rubber boots up with grease to keep the water out. The FEL operates much easier and safer now.

I have new seals and bearings for the front wheels coming. Being supplied under the warrenty. How hard will it be to instal them correctly? I have been assured that it is very easy and straightforeward. I sure hope it will be.
