32LA joystick broke...

yeehaw · Nov 22, 2015

I've got a 2003 TN70 open cab with a 32LA loader on it. While floating out some sand I broke the plastic thing-a-ma-jiggy that controls the downward movement of the bucket (when you push it forward - nothing). took the rubber housing off and this is what I have now (see pic if it attached). looks like a plastic end that may screw onto the hydraulic end...

any suggestions on how to take the assembly apart....?

and after searching through the online schematics - I cant find any part numbers....

Yeehaw, you can't find a breakdown of the joystick as there are no serviceable parts in it. You have to buy the joystick as an assembly.
Quadrastat (now a division of Arens) made the joystick. I had a schematic from them and actually got some parts to repair a joystick, but since they were acquired, they have become unresponsive to repairing.
I believe the plastic piece was the socket for the ball pictured and is stationary. You might be able to match a socket and fabricate something.
