My D4H steering has become very stiff. Sometimes the right controls do not engage. I have taken the seat and access panels off to lubricate the connections (and remove any homes constructed by my little woodsy friends). However, I'm having a hard time lubricating the affected part. Below is a rough drawing of the control system of the dozer and the problem area.
I said it was a "rough drawing". Anyway, after disconnecting the connection at "1", the system works very well to the control box below ("loose"). The remaining part of the controls remains tight. So I think my whole problem is a lubrication one and not a hydraulic problem. I am having trouble lubricating the cross are at "A". It's very hard to reach and seems to be where the trouble originates. Does anyone have any suggestions to lubricate this part? Should I disassemble more of the linkage?
