Ok, so my FEL control stick is loosie-goosie and feels like it is spinning at least 45deg each way whilst being used. I shut her down and called it a day. All the functions seem to work so I’m hoping it’s only a missing nut or somethin.

I was using the FEL pretty hard for clearing brush, digging in a bit, but this feels like linkage/mechanical failure or somethin….

Any ideas?

Sounds like a new tractor mechanical problem. The FEL control lever is connected to the control valve by a series of bell cranks and cables. Complicated but gives good control at least for the M59. The control valve is on the lower right side under a removable metal sheet metal cover. Being low it is vulnerable to ground debris. I added extra skid plate protection since I do a lot of woods work.

Nice rig, aside from the driver trying to burn it up, and yep you will find all kinds of little things, and yes the pin get it checked,
OH one thing hasnt been covered,,, and that is the better half,! Dont let her know how much fun you are having, and DONT let her run it,, other wise you might not get to play,,, errrr I mean work with your new toy,,, errrr I mean tools
Stay safe, and think every move through, even if you think you know whats going to happen, think it through again,,, things can go side ways in a heart beat!
