Loader L series joystick FEL control

[LD1]

If I was gonna do anything, I'd attempt to remount the OEM valve where you want it. Dont limit yourself to the existing handle design. Making a new handle, or putting a bend in it here or there is easy in comparison.

Any aftermarket valve you buy short of $1000 is not gonna be of the same quality as the kubota valve.

I'd stay away from cable controls. Just one more thing to go wrong....or a cable seize up or break. And they just do not have the same "feel" to them when trying to do precise feathering of the control.

When I was looking to relocate my FEL control, there were few good options. You might get some ideas looking at pages like this

Did you end up making the change?

Thanks for the link. I am hoping to find someone who has done this or has photos of doing this. I have had trouble finding any "how to's" online.

I didn't move my valve, just re-mounted it to the cab instead and added hose connectors so the loader lifts away clean. I use the valve for a front blower too.
