Hey guys and gals,
We are supposed to get around 8 inches of snow so I took the loader out to see how well it would work with the new valve from Surplus Center, and it was not fun. First off, the throttle cable broke, but it was running fast enough that it wasn't going to stall, so I drove up the alley. Found out something new about the valve. going up the alley, I could go forward or turn, but not both at the same time. The coup de grâce came when the small bolt that holds the old joystick to the section that raises and lowers the bucket broke. So Tomorrow I will go to Fastenal for some small bolts, I have another cable I can use for the throttle and then compose another letter to Surplus Center to let them know how well the valve that I bought on the advice of their technical support dept.
