Maybe the gas springs attached to the steering levers are shot?? Broken springs on the centering plate?

EH controls are electronic levers with no linkage attached to them. Your serial indicates foot controls for the loader, and levers for the travel.

The link below takes you to a parts page. You just have to make sure you pick the correct configuration (hands only, hand and foot controls, etc). The page displayed is hand and foot controls, which would be what your serial indicates.

Gas Springs

Sorry for all the questions. You were referring to these parts as gas springs, are they the steering linkage shock absorbers (KV21678)? Also what is the location of the (centering plate) springs you were referring to? So I can check them also. Thank you

Hello MG2361, I had some other issues that took priority. Pulled the cab up. Both shock absorbers seem OK. Neither one is leaking and there is restriction, both in and out on each shock from the internal oil. The springs and bushing appear OK also. No broken spring or odd wear if any on the bushings. Do you know what length the springs are supposed to be adjusted to in neutral? There is two #6's part #KV20898 and one #9 part #KV21668? Or what else I might look at? Thank you very much
