My JD 4300 was delivered a week ago. During my shakout drives I discovered that I was unable to move the hydraulic lockout lever. I called the dealer, who went out and tried on their 4400 and found the same problem. They called later to say "Deere is aware of a problem with these" and was "manufacturing parts to fix it."Later I went out and fiddled with it a lot. If I jiggle gently, sometimes it'll slide right up. No amount of force I can apply with both hands will make it move otherwise. When in the "locked" position a little change is seen - up/down loader operation is slowed but not disabled. Dumping/rollback does seem to be locked, as I can't move the DSCV right/left.Has anyone else run into this?

Hi,I have a 4300 HST with the same problem. If I move the SCV left and right, or up and down, I can get it to fall into the lock position. Now that I have read your complaint, I'll have my dealer check mine out. My machine is having the recall work done now.Lou ....
