This stupid little lever that locks the loader lever operation while you have the FEL off isn't working. Frankly I can't think of when it did, it may have but as long as I can recall (3 years owning it), it moved a little and seemed to do nothing.

Looking at it today, I really think is doing nothing as there are two notches and it won't travel right far enough to engage. I'm wondering if this is just one more thing that was welded out of place on this thing or if there is rust debris in the valve blocking the travel of the lock.

Unless its something else and my moron gene is showing.

Anyone run into this?

I'm going to run off to the market for some sides to go with the ribs that are going on the smoker. I'll be back!

FWIW I mowed with my B3200 today, dropped the mower, put on the king kutter tiller and tilled under half the garden to restart somethings. Hosed off the tiller and will let it dry while I run to the market. While the ribs are on the smoker I'll be putting the FEL back on and moving some log length firewood.

Just another holiday off right? lol :eek:

It's probably rusted up, you will need to remove the cover and lube up the linkage. ;)

Thanks I'll dig into it further. My float was non floating for a bit too in the spring. It cleared up but I was expecting something like that

Always good to sound things off you guys.
