Loader Joystick Knob

[bluedunn]

Hi-

Anyone know the part number for the BX 80 series loader joystick knob? I can't seem to locate this.

Thanks!

Find a golf club grip that fits and use that. Compressed air with a needle attachment will get it on.

Thanks! Yea, that was a typo - sorry! Thanks again for the part numbers.

Do you know if the grip is just a pressure fit or is it threaded and screwed on?

Uhhhh.... does the rod the knob fits upon have threads? Or No...? (Hint-hint)

Fair enough - I haven't removed the old knob yet so I'm not sure.

Press fit!

Press fit!

I was afraid of that :-(

why afraid?

Heat old knob with a hair dryer to pull it off, or cut if off if scraping it.

To install new know, heat put a couple dots of superglue gel on the inside of the knob and push it on.

Almost unrelated... but when the throttle-knob on my M4700DT was totally missing and only a plain, unthreaded rod was there for the manual throttle.... I fortunately found at Tractor Supply Co. a clearance item... a black rubber, rounded knob from a Ford tractor for $1 that was a snug, force-fit.
Looks/Works perfectly. (I had to remove it from its Ford packaging and bring it to the Kubota in a plain, brown bag tho.)

And as Geo. mentioned, many knobs will work. If they seem too tight you can heat the thing with a heat gun and slide it on.
