FEL control problem

[frysl]

Hello all.
Yesterday while using the tractor and FEL I ‘felt’ a pop and immediately noticed a lot of slop in the control for moving the FEL up and down.
I noticed that this stop bolt was no longer attached to the FEL bracket.
I have two questions:
1. how do I remove the plastic FEL control cover? I cannot see any attachment points.
2. How do I remove the FEL hydraulic fluid lock out knob? Is it twist off?

Thanks
Steve

How about letting us know the tractor model and FEL model numbers.
Will help greatly.
Thanks.

Look under the plastic cap and I think there are 3 screws that you take out to move it out of the way to get to the linkage. I had to fix mine also and I think the plastic knob end if just a press fit on the lock lever

Thanks, I can see 4 bolts that hold the valve in place, I’ll look again for others that hold the cover in place.

I looked at ,ine and I think it is the 4 smaller bolts under the flat plate. Those bolts hold your linkage on . I will check my loader manual tonight and let you know which bolts they are for sure
