He rules out hydraulic fluid/filters, shows the pivot knuckle mechanism, and demonstrates loosening the nyloc nut and turning the pin about an eighth turn to free it up. Best for current Workmaster 75 owners troubleshooting the same joystick stiffness, not general shoppers.
Posted by an owner-operator (Chris Denny) sharing a hands-on DIY fix based on his own tractor, not a dealer or technician.
The owner found it was not hydraulic fluid or filters but a mechanical issue in the pivot knuckle pin, worse in hot weather and with third function use.
Loosen the nyloc nut on the pivot pin, turn the pin counterclockwise about an eighth of a turn with a crescent wrench, then tighten the nyloc back up.
The owner bought new filters but had not changed them yet, and found the fix was mechanical, adjusting the pivot pin, not the filters.
