I apparently managed to pop the boom up/down cable from my joystick to the manifold on LS XG3135 FEL.

Dealer is saying the cable is ~$85.

Anyone know of a better price?

Can the cable be repaired? Havent looked at prices yet, but that seems a bit much for a cable.

That is a relative bargain! A replacement cable for my John Deere show thrower discharge cap was $140!! I replaced it with a liner actuator.

Seriously, I doubt you will find one cheaper.

Thanks for the info.

Any details on your replacement job? Does it work better, or lower failure rater, or what?

It's fully encased, so it's probably beyond my skill to repair it. But replacement is fairly easy.

Mine isn't exactly like this, but close enough.

Pretty sure yours is not a Nimco or Indemor joystick. Doesn't your cable end thread into the joystick and have a jam nut?

No, it's not a Nimco. Yes, that describes it well.

I documented the conversion here

The only down side is the liner actuator is on the slow side.
