I felt the need to exit right quickly from my DS3510 one day, and broke the aluminum bracket on the joystick assembly. Had to manually activate the valves to get the bucket up and get the tractor out of the hole it was in. Instead of buying a new valve assembly (individual part not sold by itself) I fabbed a replacement - but had no float detent. I used it for a year that way, until I wanted a grapple. I bought a huge joystick valve assembly from Surplus Center (sponsor here at TBN) with a third function built in.
In the process of plumbing that bad boy, I was at a local hydraulic shop. I mentioned the detent issue to the counter guy, and he said that was an easy fix. Said they could do it for $40 - their minimum labor charge. I didn't pursue it, as I was replacing the unit anyway. If you have a hydraulic shop nearby, you could take it there.
Or replace the whole thing with a new unit. 2 Spool 12 GPM Joystick Loader Control Valve | Joystick Valves | Hydraulic Valves | Hydraulics | www.surpluscenter.com
