The joy stick is ok. The bucket up and down side is hanging up. I have the joy stick off and am operating it by pushing and pulling by hand. Trying to get a job finished. It does stick once in awhile. For now if I tap it with a plastic hammer it frees up.
The problem is the bucket gets stuck in the down position. I have to take it apart and bump it with a small hammer to break the cylinder loose. I can use it for a while but it locks up more frequently
