I am new to tractors, but not to working on stuff (rock crawlers, motorcycles, general auto maintenance repairs, etc.). But I can't for the life of me find a joystick to replace the broke one on this tractor. Nothing I see on the internet says joystick will work with DL250 loader, always mentions other model numbers. Not sure if some of the joysticks I've looked at will fit this one or not.
Long story short, my fiance's father died last year and she got his old tractor, I believe it is an 08 model, MF 3635 with DL250 loader. It has the valves mounted on side with cables running to joystick. The internals are broke in the joystick housing. MF dealer didn't sound like they knew what they were talking about and claimed you had to replace the whole hydraulic system just to get a new joystick.
I would be the most grateful man on the internet if one of you can cross reference some part numbers or something and either give me the part number that I need to look for, or simply post a link here to what I need. We are contemplating selling the tractor, as we won't really need one that big, and I want to fix the joystick first.
Any help would be very much appreciated! Tractor pic below.
