I am new to this forum. I would like to know if anyone can direct me to a schematic/parts list for a Farley Coax. The joystick is “crunchy”, especially in both lower quadrants so I need to disassemble, clean, & properly reassembl. As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words. Thank you
 
Here's a good thread:

Servicing a Farley Front Rest

I have a Farley that I bought around 2002/2003 that I need to disassemble, clean, upgrade and reassemble. I’ve done the advanced search and saw the response that Butch gives to get most of the above done. But I would appreciate it if someone could give me advice on the first couple steps on...

Photograph yours at each step as you disassemble it. It doesn't hurt to have a reference of your specific rest for reassembly.

There's a guy named Mark Johnson (I think) in CO

I know two very good LR shooters that had him go through their Farley's and are beyond happy with the results.
Might be worth checking out. If I had a Farley it's the first thing I'd do.

Thank you Jerry! Yes, that thread is helpful, and I already have a new set of tensioners on order from Butch Lambert of Shade Tree. Hoping for an extended new life for an old favorit!

I will be using MilComm synthetic grease. It was designed for the Stainless Steel Mini-Guns, & does not attract nor hold dirt/dust/sand and doesn’t gall or harden
 
The fit of the bearing capsule into the front plate is critical to them operating smoothly. Best results come from fitting it on an individual basis. Butch's tensioners are a big improvement. There's more tweaking that can be done to them, too.
 
Dave Short, when he was gunsmithing, would do a retro fit on Farleys by doing internal work and fitting a front weight to it. I had it done and am very pleased with it.
