Why would a loader valve be stuck curl up and boom up?
I have play in my joystick. Since the lock nuts have come loose in the past, I locked the loader up with a lock on a boom cylinder, popped the barrels off, and removed the joystick. A couple of days later I decided my triangle cable thingy in the joystick itself has a bit of wear in the pin that is fixed instead of the two cable pins, greased up and reassembled. But upon reassembly, I noted my joystick was not sitting up and down correctly. Testing, the joy stick centers on the valve itself, but only operates boom up and curl up, no boom down or curl down.
Ideas?
Update, I popped the joystick off again and can manually boom down and curl down.
So I'm wondering why my joystick isn't centering since the valve body itself seems to work.
