Brad,
Yes, I made the adjustment and it solved my problem. The amount of "play" wasn't reduced but I was able to get the joystick to engage the valve for the rollback function earlier, so it wasn't hitting my leg. You'll need to remove the nut holding the top of the tierod to the bracket it's attached to, then loosen the locknut that locks the tierod to the rest of the linkage. turn the tierod clockwise (to shorten the overall linkage assembly). I think I made 5 or 6 turns. You can just slide the tierod end back onto the bolt on the joystick bracket and test out the new position before tightening everything back up.
