Oh my Brandi. Can we just agree to disagree.

I am not agreeing or disagreeing. I was asking questions. You pointed out it reflects bad on Mahindra. I was taught when you point, 4 fingers are pointing back at you. So one more question.

Do you really think Mahindra can force vendors to force their vendors to make replacement parts?:confused2:

Did you ever get your joystick replaced? I was wondering what KMW would say to making replacement parts. Maybe if we (Mahindra owners) give the manufacturers more positive feedback, they can have the replacement parts made? But then, at what cost?

Replaced. Currently working on a 3D printed replacement part to address future failures. Local Mahindra dealer said it is a fairly common issue. New joystick is noticeably smoother. Lubrication may prolong the life of the joystick - not sure if that is in the manual for the loader as I purchased my tractor used and did not receive anything on the loader itself.

I would imagine silicone spray would help it stay smooth.
