[QUOTE="kroog, post: 104714, member: 1996"] I had a similar problem on 2 different skid steers. 1. John Deere 318D. I had to take the foot pedals apart and clean the rust out of the pivot bores. reassembled it and that did the trick. I also sprayed it down with some WD40 to keep it from rerusting. 2. Thomas 243HDS. The previous owner had the pump grenade and got metal into the main control valve scarred the tilt spool and bore. I disassembled it, and honed the bore, polished the spool, but when I reassembled it, I had excess drift, so had to replace the valve. OUCH over $1800 for a used one from Thomas. Wishing you the best of luck. I hope it's the foot treadle. [/QUOTE]
