4020 remote lever - Competition Diesel.Com

Guys, strange problem...

1972 Deere 4020 side console, syncro, 2 remotes.

I usually run my 10' drill off of the right remote, easier to reach down and grab the outer lever without looking. With all the rain it's been spotty trying to finish up soybeans this year. Last week I went out after the tractor sat 2 days, suddenly the right remote lever is floppy, no "feel" to it except the very end of travel. It's definitely not operating properly either as it's VERY slow to lower the drill.

I swapped to the left side (which is fine), but now I am at a loss. The flow control is turned up to full (rabbit), but I don't see anything mechanically wrong at first glance. It's also very strange that a problem occurred while the tractor was parked...

Any thoughts?

Will

I don't know if you ever got this fixed but we had the same problem so I took off the hydraulic hook up and cleaned it out real well and now its back to the normal rate of flow.

It's still broken lol, we haven't needed the second remote again so it's a problem that's been pushed aside. I will have to try that though, thank you!
