After I washed my tractor, I found that the loader joy stick that had been a little stiff had gottem much more to the point of hanging up. I looked at removing the panel that covered it and boy what a RPITA! So instead I removed the rubber joy stick boot and got in there with my AAA cell Maglite. I found the linkages which are really tough to get at all of them and used a long lube spray can extension and lubed up all the pivots and links. I used Howes lubricant as is later solidifies and leaves a lubricating film after it penetrates but is thin enough to not gum up the works. Works like a champ now! Figured I would post this in case anyone else comes across this problem.

Thanks, Chief. I haven't noticed any stiffness on mine yet, but I'll add that to my service regimen.
