B2320 FEL joystick sticking

[Billbo]

Hello all, I read in another post a guy lubricated the balls and springs on his joystick - question for you how do you lube the springs and balls in your joystick? My joystick ‘sticks’ and when it breaks loose the bucket just jumps up of down or curl/dump!!!! Seems I can’t just ease into moving it any direction.

The only balls and springs are in the detent, and the odds of them needing lubed are rare.
But here it is:

Thank you Wolfman. Do you have any other suggestions how to make my joystick (bucket) move without sticking? Is there any thing or any where else I could lubricate???

You could try lubing these parts and see what that does for you.

If you have cables connecting the controls to the valve they may need to be cleaned and re-lubed.

There is no cables on this series of tractors, the handle connects directly with the valve using pivot joints.

Billbo, spray the pivot joints at the base of the handle really good with either a good lubricant oil or some white grease. Move the handle around and spray more. On my B2920 , the handle has progressively become harder to fine control over time. Keeping it well lubbed up has helped but not cured.
