The front loader joystick stopped working, seems to be a mechanism issue? Super sloppy, loader will go up, not down. Any ideas for an easy fix?

My la525 loader joystick on my L2501 did the same thing at about 30 hours. I lost up and down but retained curl, the joystick was super loose. The rod end part number 70 came unscrewed from the lever, part 110. I had to remove the cover and was easily accessible. Not sure if this is what happed to yours but its a start.
Wow you nailed it! Same issue, nit sure if the #110 stripped out or if the #070 stud stripped...thank you so much! I have the insurance so hopefully they'll cover it...

Glad to help. I lucked out in that the threads on the rod end stud and the joystick lever were un-damaged. In my case the stud was not tightened durning assembly And worked itself loose. I now Have an additional 70 trouble free hours on the tractor and joy stick.
I just finished the fix. Same situation, the stud must not have been tightened at the factory, threads seem good, and tightened down nice. Working great again! Really glad you replied, thanks again
