John Deere loader 651

[John6610]

Hi just looking for advice on a John Deere 651 multi dock.
There seems to be play in my multi dock and I have to place cables on handle back to pipes to keep it fully closed because otherwise when I go to close or open implement with button on loader joystick the implement will just tip over or tip up and won’t work properly but now I think the play is starting to get more.
Just wondering what needs replacing apart from a new multi dock.
Look forward to your feedback.

Thanks

Now Then....
Replace the electrical pins within the lower half of the multidock.. Item no 10 in this image £60.00 ish..

Worth a shout thanks, but there is a gap between multidock top and bottom where it splits when the handle is shut but when I cable tie the handle back it works fine, should that play be in it?

There is usually some movement of the 2 halves if you watch closely when it's in use...
If you look closely at the pins in the bottom, they are a male pin, with a kind of sleeve around them to allow flexibility. This sleeve part degrades over time and contact is lost..
How many hours has it done??

There is 17,000hours on it

There is nothing else.
Look in the lower half before you spend any money, you should see the problem. There are 6 pins in total for you to compare..
