'89 ish JD 450G steering levers stuck together

[Johnmull13]

Just started, normally the 2 levers worked independently of each other just fine. Last time on the Dozer when I pulled back on one the other would go with it bringing the Dozer to a stop. If i manually move one lever up it will turn in the correct direction so appears the clutches are fine.
Any ideas on what could be causing the levers to stick together? I've looked and cannot find anything obvious and have greased what I can.

There has to be some linkage sticking or binding somewhere. Check all of your pivot points to make sure they are all working freely. Sometimes it doesn't take much to make them do what yours is doing.

Thank you for the help, I will recheck all the pivot points to see if that is the problem.

Had that problem with my 450c and under the seat where all the levers come together it was rusted together causing them to move all at once. Penetrating oil and had to pull some apart to get free from each other.

I'll take a look there as well. Tried lubing at the levers @ floor board and still sticking.
Thank you.
